Having received the accurate location of the crash site via an eCall, the rescue services arrived very quickly at the accident scene. eCall reduces reaction time and thus saves lives and mitigates injuries. TIME SAVED = LIVES SAVED!

Thanks to the quicker arrival of the emergency teams, the accident scene can also be cleared much faster. This leads to fewer secondary accidents, less waste of fuel and reduced CO2 output.
