Update of standards for the 112-based eCall in-vehicle systems

Single market

All new types of passenger cars and vans are equipped with eCall. This is the system that automatically dials the European emergency number 112 in the event of a serious road accident and helps saving lives. Currently, eCall systems work over 2G/3G networks. Given that these networks are to be switched off in the coming years, this initiative sets out provisions for the transition of eCall to 4G/5G network.

Auto industry seeks delay for eCall network transition

Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles, 24 Nov 2023

ACEA and CLEPA request additional lead-time for updating existing vehicle types, proposing a mandatory date of January 2029 instead of January 2027. They argue this transition requires considerable technical expertise and administrative effort across all affected product lines.
This would give them more time to complete conversion across product lines without forced technical adaptations.
Millions of existing vehicle occupants would lose safety equipment until upgrades are completed.
