A digital tachograph is a device that records drivers' speed, driving time and activities. It is essential for compliance with EU rules on driving and rest periods. Since 2006, the installation of a digital tachograph has been mandatory in new vehicles.
Features of the digital tachograph
The tachograph accurately records data thanks to connection to the gearbox and sensors. This system stores data for up to 12 months. The device has two smart card readers, a selector switch, a display and a printer.
Benefits of a digital tachograph
- Efficiency: The system automatically records data. This saves companies time and reduces administrative errors.
- Transparency: Both drivers and employers have insight into driving and rest periods. This helps with route planning and optimization.
- Enforcement: Authorities easily verify that companies comply with regulations. This ensures fair competition.
Digital tachographs help companies improve efficiency and stay compliant with legislation. In addition, they contribute to road safety and driver welfare.
