Emergency call after a car accident: Which five pieces of information are important now. Since April 1, 2018, all vehicles with a new type approval must be equipped with the so-called eCall.
This system uses mobile communications and GPS tracking to automatically establish a telephone connection to the emergency number 112 after an accident. The automatic emergency call is only triggered in the event of a serious accident - for example if the airbags open. However, the emergency call can also be triggered manually at the push of a button.
