What is an E-call?
• E-call is an automatic or manual emergency call
sent from a vehicle in the event of an accident
• Data on the vehicle's status and position is sent,
via a gateway, to a relevant call center which then
deploys adequate assistance.
Example - Volvo OnCall
The eCall Initiative
• The European Commission has proposed that the
European Union should set itself the target of halving
the number of road fatalities by 2010.
• One recommendation how to reach this goal is to
require E-call as a standard option in all new vehicles
type-approved for the European Union from 2010 and
onwards.
• This work is driven by the eCall Driving Group (part of
the eSafety Forum).
Expected Results
• Reduced response time
– 50% in rural areas
– 40% in urban areas
• Reduced severity of accidents
– 15% to a lesser category
• Saving lives
– Up to 2,500 in EU 25, annually
• Costs savings
– Up to 26 billion Euro in EU 25, annually

Telematics in Europe - Challenges to Handle
Structural obstacles
• Geography - 41 countries
• Networks - 159 network operators, country based
networks, SIM, roaming, billing
• Languages - 20+ different languages
• Services - Safety & Security services are regulated locally
• Content – most content (traffic, maps, POI’s, weather, etc)
is local = Local partners
• Billing – different tax regulation in different countries, local
collection
• OEM Channels – different structure of sales channels in
different countries
eCall - Challenges to Handle
• Pan European Interoperability
• Upgrading the emergency service infrastructure to include
location and PSAP compatibility
• Solving the business case … for all
– Only eCall will not allow for additional services!
eCall – The European Driver of Telematics?
• *59% want eCall in their next car
• Critical mass is key and the price point crucial
– Open architecture: reduce cost of development
– eCall: provide volumes
• Allowing for the piggybacking of other services:
– Breakdown Call
– Stolen Vehicle Tracking
– Speed Alert
– Electronic Fee Collection
– Navigation and Real Time Traffic Information
– And more…
• The Aim: Mass Market
*Eurobarometer study 2006
Customer interest and willingness
to pay for telematics Avoid: One service per box
Focus on vehicle-related services
Key player: Vehicle manufacturers
Avoid person-related services
Key player: Network operators
