When technology becomes safety
What is BMW Emergency Call? What is it for? When and how is it activated? All these questions are answered by our Andrea Perfetti
BMW ECALL
Back in the 1980s, BMW Motorrad showed the world how important ABS was on motorbikes, and was the first company to believe in this indispensable system. Today, the German manufacturer is focusing on E-Call. And rightly so. The emergency call in the event of an accident is triggered by itself and activates the emergency services. But we can also operate it. Andrea Silva and Claudio Brusa explain how it works and how much it costs. And we tested it in the field on a BMW F750GS to tell you how effective and fast it is.
We activated the emergency call and calculated the response and intervention times.
