Hello, everyone. I’m Zuo Peiwen from China Auto Information Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. 

Recently, the mandatory national standard “In-Vehicle Emergency Call System” was officially released and will be enforced starting July 1, 2027, requiring all M1 and N1 new vehicles to come equipped with this system as standard. So, what are the latest development trends in emergency call systems? This video will tell you.

Market Demand

With the implementation of the standard and growing public awareness of safety, the market penetration rate of in-vehicle emergency call systems is accelerating -- expected to rise from 30% in 2024 to over 90% by 2027, with the market size projected to exceed 10 billion RMB.

Technology Trends

First, new-generation systems based on 4G/5G will become mainstream, significantly reducing emergency response time. Second, multi-modal data fusion using BeiDou plus 4G/5G will enable precise positioning and stable communication. Third, the systems are evolving from “passive rescue” to “proactive prevention” -- deep integration with L3-level autonomous driving systems will allow for pre-incident intervention and post-incident rapid response.

Competitive Landscape

Multinational companies such as LG and Valeo currently hold a leading position, with the Chinese market concentration approaching 30% in 2024. However, domestic enterprises like Neusoft, Huawei, and BYD are rising rapidly. Localization has driven costs down to 40%, making it feasible to extend emergency call systems from high-end models to economy models.

Conclusion

The in-vehicle emergency call system is a milestone automotive safety feature after seat belts and airbags. It not only significantly reduces death rate from traffic accidents but also paves the way for the commercial rollout of L3 autonomous driving technology.

Thank you.
