Abstract
An anti-fire safety system for a transport vehicle has one or more storage tanks storing hydrogen. The system includes a first hydrogen-releasing system, which is configured to release outside the vehicle hydrogen contained in at least one of the storage tanks. The system also includes a second release system, which is arranged to intervene and bypass the first hydrogen release system under predetermined operative conditions. The second release system is configured to transform by a chemical reaction, at least a part of the bypassed hydrogen flowing outward from at least one storage tank, into at least one different substance.
