Euro NCAP Advanced Reward 2010

Automatic Emergency Call (eCall) is a system which sends an automatic message to an emergency call centre in the event of a crash. The eCall system installed in the vehicle sends an automatic message in a European standardized format, containing the location of the vehicle based on an in-built GPS location device. The message goes to the 'Public Safety Answering Point' (fire brigade, police or ambulance call centre), where a decision is made on the appropriate response to the alert.

This technology was introduced in the Overall Rating in 2020.
