The system's automatic call rescuers at the accident scene will be mandatory for all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in Europe. The law, which will enter into force starting from 2019, regulates the mandatory installation of eCall system that is directly linked to the pan-European 112 emergency service.



Sensors installed in the car, fix the collision and the car independently sends a signal SOS. Moreover eCall informs not only the exact location of the vehicle, but also the scene of the accident and, importantly, the number of passengers in the car. In addition, all machines are equipped with an eCall system will receive the SOS button for witnesses to the accident were able to immediately call for help.
According to calculations of the European Commission, the widespread introduction of the eCall system will help to reduce road deaths by at least 10%. By the way, only in 2014 an accident in Europe claimed the lives of 25 thousand people.
