Zenvo Tells Us Why Another ST1 Suffered A Fiery Death In Denmark

While the Zenvo ST1 that burned down on Top Gear reportedly suffered a cooling fan failure, the one that recently exploded at a parade in Denmark, actually had a faulty fuel line.

We’re not making this up or guessing, as Zenvo reached out to us with an official statement which you can read below:

“Preliminary inspections of the white ST1 point towards a fuel line failure, which unfortunately caused a fire underneath the car.

The car we used particularly for this event, was a development car with our brand new gearbox among the many new features being tested.

However, as the car is a development car, it is important to note that it is different from our current 11 production cars in many ways, and that our production cars undergo a thorough quality and shakedown test before being delivered to customers.

We will perform a full and thorough inspection over the next couple of days to determine the exact cause of this problem.”

So basically, it was a pre-production car that was still basically testing; nothing to worry about here, then.
