| Title of Presentation: |
E-Call in Europe |
|
The presentation shows the current status and the roll-out plan for the eCall project implementations in Europe as approved by High-Level Meetings of Public Authorities (Sep. 2004) and Industry (Feb. 2005). The implementation builds on the European E-112 concept and requires marginal additional technical upgrades on the PSAP (Public Service Anwering Points) as well as on the Telecommunication side (data in voice concept). To cover the significant cost for an in-vehicle eCall functionality, annual saving on the health and social cost side of more than 21 bn Euro more than compensate the investments needs as well as the cost of the service.
To introduce eCall as a standard option on new type-approved vehicles from modell year 2010 onwards it is required that all stakeholders, in particuar all major Member States and insurance companies also sign a MOU (already signed byt the Automotive Industry, the European Commission, ERTICO and another 30 stakeholders) and commit necessary resources. Furthermore, a sustainable business model needs to be worked out until end of 2005 not to risk the planned introduction dates.
