CETECOM is officially designated as a technical service for eCall

eCall is an automatic emergency call system for motor vehicles postulated by the European Union. Vehicle-mounted devices are designed to automatically report a traffic accident to the single European emergency number 112, and help to reduce the number of traffic jams and reduce the severity of road traffic injuries by means of more rapidly initiated rescue operations.

eCall will become mandatory for all new models of passenger cars (M1) and light commercial vehicles (N1) starting from April 2018. CETECOM has now been officially named as a technical service for eCall following an audit by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).
