In the commercial vehicle sector, road safety is an unavoidable priority. With the DGT's regulatory evolution toward the mandatory use of connected V16 beacons before 2026, it is vital that workshops, distributors, and aftermarket professionals are properly prepared for this transition. Understanding the operation and specifications of these new beacons is essential to ensure regulatory compliance and maximize road safety.
Technical and commercial development of the V16 Connected Beacons
The connected V16 beacons represent a technological milestone in emergency road signage. Unlike traditional beacons, these incorporate a geolocation system that transmits the vehicle's position in real time to the DGT 3.0, significantly improving visibility of the incident and facilitating the response of emergency services.
