SOS Road Beacon V16 Geolocatable – DGT 3.0 Approved
V16 Geolocatable Emergency Beacon SOS ROAD - Mandatory Safety for Your Car from 2026
Are you looking for a DGT-approved V16 beacon that complies with the new 2026 regulations? The SOS ROAD V16 Beacon with Geolocation is the road safety device that replaces emergency triangles and will be mandatory in all vehicles starting January 2026.
This connected beacon not only complies with legislation but also enhances your safety and that of other drivers thanks to its DGT 3.0 geolocation system which automatically alerts to your position in case of breakdown or accident.
What is a V16 beacon and why is it mandatory?
The V16 beacon is a luminous emergency device that replaces traditional warning triangles. Unlike triangles, which require the driver to exit the vehicle and expose themselves to road hazards, the V16 beacon is placed on the car's roof from inside, ensuring your safety at all times.
From January 1, 2026, the DGT requires all vehicles to carry a connected V16 beacon with geolocation. Triangles will become obsolete and will not comply with regulations.
Key Features of the SOS ROAD V16 Beacon
🌐 Geolocation and DGT 3.0 Connection
The SOS ROAD beacon incorporates integrated 4G connectivity that automatically communicates with the DGT 3.0 platform as soon as you activate it. This means your exact position is registered and visible to emergency services and other drivers through compatible navigation systems.
You don't need to configure anything or download apps: upon activation, the beacon immediately sends your GPS location. This functionality can save lives by alerting other vehicles approaching your position.
💡 High-Reach LED Light - Visible up to 1 Kilometer
Equipped with high-intensity LED light, the beacon is visible up to 1 km away under normal conditions, significantly exceeding DGT requirements. The orange flashing light complies with the 360° visibility standard so your vehicle can be detected from any angle.
It works day and night, and its powerful LED ensures other drivers see you with enough time to reduce speed or change lanes.
✅ DGT Approved - Complies with 2026 Regulations
The SOS ROAD beacon has official DGT certification and complies with all technical requirements established in the Royal Decree regulating connected V16 beacons. It is approved according to current European and Spanish regulations.
Carrying this beacon in your vehicle guarantees compliance with the law and helps you avoid potential penalties from 2026.
☔ Water Resistant and Extreme Conditions
Designed to operate in any weather condition, the SOS ROAD V16 beacon is resistant to water (IP54 certified), dust, shocks, and extreme temperatures. You can use it in heavy rain, snow, wind, or heat without affecting its performance.
Its robust casing protects electronic components and ensures years of reliable operation.
📡 Data Included Until 2038 - No Fees or Subscriptions
One of the great advantages of the SOS ROAD beacon is that it includes prepaid data connectivity until 2038. You won't need to contract any additional services, pay monthly fees, or worry about renewals.
You buy the beacon once and enjoy guaranteed connectivity for over a decade. This makes it a smart investment with no hidden costs.
🔋 Long-Lasting Battery
The beacon incorporates a high-capacity rechargeable battery that provides up to 2 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. In flashing mode (the typical use mode), autonomy is significantly extended.
It recharges easily via USB cable (included) and maintains its charge for months in standby mode, ready for use at any time.
🧲 Powerful Magnetic Base
The beacon features a high-power magnetic base that adheres firmly to your vehicle's metal roof. You place it from inside the car, without needing to get out, and it stays perfectly fixed even at high speeds or in strong winds.
The base is designed not to damage the vehicle's paint and is easily removed when no longer needed.
How to Use the SOS ROAD V16 Beacon?
Using the beacon is extremely simple, even in stressful situations:
- Stop the vehicle on the shoulder or a safe area.
- Activate the beacon by pressing the central button (the LED light turns on and geolocation is activated).
- Place it on the car's roof from inside, thanks to its magnetic base.
- Remain inside the vehicle with your seatbelt fastened and wait for help.
The beacon will do the rest: it will emit visible light and automatically send your position to the DGT.
Advantages of the V16 Beacon over Emergency Triangles
Greater personal safety: You don't have to leave the car and expose yourself to traffic, which is especially dangerous on highways and motorways.
Faster activation: In seconds you have active signaling, without needing to walk dozens of meters.
Real-time geolocation: Emergency services and other drivers know your exact location.
Visible in all conditions: Works day, night, in fog, rain, or snow.
Regulatory compliance: From 2026, triangles will not be valid; the connected V16 will be mandatory.
