Continental Presents New eCall Business Models

At the car2x conference in Ulm, the leading automotive supplier Continental presented its view on eCall and how it is investigating new business models that could help lower implementation costs and accelerate the time-to-market of eCall systems across Europe. eCall is an electronic emergency call that is activated for example when airbags are activated during an accident. The electronics then send information about the location and precise time of the accident to the nearest emergency operations center via the mobile communications network.
