moviTHERM and Troman Industries have formed a partnership to offer an integrated thermal safety platform for transit fleets, combining automated infrared monitoring with onboard thermal detection, notification, and suppression hardware for buses, rail vehicles, and paratransit fleets.

The companies are pitching the system as a response to the rising thermal-management and fire-risk challenges that come with electrification and lithium-ion battery systems. According to the announcement, the combined offering is designed to cover vehicles, depots, charging infrastructure, and maintenance facilities through a single platform, rather than forcing agencies to stitch together multiple vendors’ systems.

moviTHERM brings its thermal imaging and cloud-based monitoring stack, including its iTL IoT platform for early fire detection and condition monitoring. Troman contributes transit-focused mobile detection hardware and suppression products, including assets it acquired in 2025 from Collins Aerospace’s former Kidde Fire Protection Systems commercial ground vehicle business, plus linear heat detection technology through a distribution agreement with Protectowire FireSystems.

The companies say the system is intended to provide early detection of lithium-ion thermal runaway, real-time alerts accessible from any device, and operational data that can help reduce downtime while improving passenger safety. “This is the first system of its kind designed specifically for the unique challenges of bus, rail, and paratransit environments,” said Troman CEO Tony Cunnane.
