|---|---|
| Issue | Every year 1.3 million people are killed in car accidents. Road traffic injuries are expected to become the sixth biggest cause of mortality by 2030 |
| Infrastructure | eCall is an EU initiative to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision. eCall automatically connects the occupants of the affected vehicle to the nearest emergency centre while sending their precise position (through Galileo and EGNOS) |
| Social value created | According to the European Commission, eCall will save up to 800 lives per year in Europe while dramatically reducing the severity of injuries in 15% of all incidents involving actual injury. This would reduce the social costs for society by EUR 130 billion per year |
