This is the gadget that you must buy, by law, in 2026

According to figures from the Transportation and Logistics Observatory of Spain, more than 95,000 road accidents occur every year. Many of them are caused by lack of signaling or distraction of drivers. With the aim of reducing these figures, the DGT has indicated the Obligation to have V16 pre -healization devices as of January 1, 2026. And we have tested the V16 developed by NK Connected,Available in Aldi and approved by the DGT with the LCOE 2024070678G1 certificate. We go in parts.

The V16 is a accidentalization device of accidents that comes to replace the classic triangles to indicate that the vehicle has been immobilized on the road or that its load is dropped on it.

It is a small yellow beacon that is equipped with connectivity and is capable of emitting a high intensity 360ยบ light intermittently and continues for at least 30 minutes. The idea is that you must incorporate batteries with a useful life of a minimum of 18 months, regardless of whether or not it is rechargeable.

To activate it, in case of breakdown or accident, just press a button and place it on the vehicle’s roof. At that time, in addition to issuing the light warning signal, it will connect to the DGT 3.0 platform for Transmit your real -time location and notify other users of the situation.

Although models with and without connection can currently live, the objective of connectivity is to communicate the activation, deactivation and geoposition of the signal to the national access point in traffic and mobility. This information will be sent every 100 seconds Until the deactivation communication is referred. Therefore, acquiring a connected equipment from the first moment entails several advantages.

The first one is that the DGT You will receive the coordinates of our position and can alert Through the usual kilometer channels of the incident to other drivers.

To be approved, the device must integrate all the necessary elements for its operation, including communications, without having to resort to external elements such as mobile or other mobile applications or other similar. In what respects the duration of the service, The legislation marks a minimum connectivity availability of 12 yearswhose cost is already contemplated in the sale price of the V16, so you should not pay any additional fee. Of course, it is important to observe the expiration date, which will be printed on both the container and in the device itself.

The emergency beacon with geolocation of NK ConnectedAvailable in Aldi It has neodymium magnets, resistant to high -speed winds (at least 50 km/h) and visible 1 km away thanks to its luminosity index of up to 80 CD. This index is equivalent to The luminosity of 480 waves on, according to the International Lighting Commission.

Also on account with geopositioning (chip and antenna GNSS) and DGT 3.0 connectivity – Orange E -SIM card. National coverage is guaranteed until 01/01/38. It is waterproof, light and resistant in regard to accidental falls … and vulnerable travel companions.
