The entry into force of the regulations of the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), which establishes the mandatory use of the V16 beacon connected from January 1, 2026, is driving workshops and spare parts stores to seek out reliable suppliers. However, not all distributors offer the same guarantees. To ensure your customers' trust and protect your business, it's essential to work with a specialist distributor of connected V16 beacons that meets certain key requirements.
What should a good V16 beacon distributor guarantee?
A professional distributor not only delivers a product, but also supports the business throughout the entire sales and after-sales process. These are the guarantees they must offer:
- Official approval: Beacons must be certified according to regulations V16 and validated by the DGT 3.0.
- Connectivity guaranteed: Data transmission must be guaranteed without additional costs for the end user, at least until 2040.
- Stable supply: Have available stock and fast shipping to meet the high demand expected in the coming months.
- Support material at the point of sale: tabletop displays and promotional material to facilitate rotation.
- Technical support and warranty: resolve questions about installation, operation or replacement.
The Hero Driver LED proposal for distributors
En Ryme Automotive, we make available to workshops, shops and fleets the V16 Hero Driver LED Light, a certified product with integrated IoT connectivity. These are some of its distinguishing features:
- Integrated GPS which automatically sends the location to the DGT 3.0 in case of emergency.
- Narrowband IoT Connectivity from Vodafone, at no additional cost until 2040.
- Total 360º visibility with a range of up to 1 km, even in adverse weather conditions.
- Instant SOS ignition, without the need for applications or configuration.

Added value for workshops and shops
The difference between a simple supplier and a trusted distributor lies in the ability to offer added value. With the Hero Driver LED businesses can count on a official beacon display, designed for counters and accessory areas, which improves product visibility and facilitates the customer's purchasing decision.
Conclusion: Working with a trusted distributor
The market V16 beacon connected will grow exponentially in the coming months. Having a distributor that guarantees approval, connectivity, inventory, support, and display materials will make the difference between a business that's prepared and one that's late to meet demand. At Ryme Automotive, we work to ensure that workshops and businesses have the peace of mind of offering a quality product with all the guarantees required by the DGT (Directorate-General for Traffic).
