What impact on the environment is eCall expected to bring?
According to an analysis conducted by the European Commission supported E-MERGE project, eCall will allow for a reduction in accident response time of about 50% in rural areas and up to 40% in urban areas. As a consequence, the time between the occurrence of an accident to its clearance is reduced. eCall also decreases congestion by 15%, which will lead to a reduction in fuel consumption and thus less harm on the environment.
