Combined-agent vehicles are capable of applying two different extinguishing agents simultaneously. The category of "combined-agent vehicles" includes those vehicles having a water-carrying capacity of from 100 to 350 gallons (400 L to 1 400 L) as part of its foam-producing capacity, combined with either dry chemical or Halon 1211 as its auxiliary extinguishing agent. 1, record 1, English, - combined%2Dagent%20vehicle

twin agent vehicle: This term has a more restricted sense than "combined-agent vehicle" but is considered a synonym when only two extinguishing agents are used, which is normally the case. 4, record 1, English, - combined%2Dagent%20vehicle

Nous croyons que la graphie «biextincteur» (sans le trait d'union) est préférable (sur le modèle de «biacide», «biennal», «biatomique», etc., attestés dans le Grand Robert). 1, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20%C3%A9quip%C3%A9%20d%27agents%20d%27extinction%20multiples

biextincteur : Cet adjectif correspond bien à l'anglais «twin-agent». Dans les cas où on utiliserait plus de deux agents d'extinction à la fois, nous proposons les équivalents suivants : «véhicule équipé d'agents d'extinction multiples», ou, mieux, «véhicule multiagent». Terme proposé sur le modèle des mots suivants, tirés du Grand Robert : «multibrin» (composé de plusieurs brins, p. ex. : fil multibrin); «multicâble» (qui comporte plusieurs câbles, p. ex. : benne multicâble; récepteurs multicanaux; revêtement multicouche.) 1, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20%C3%A9quip%C3%A9%20d%27agents%20d%27extinction%20multiples
