1 Get ready for new technology Solutions for Digital Tachographs

2 Digital tachographs are here New legislation introducing digital tachographs came into force on 1st May From this time, all newly registered in-scope goods and passenger vehicles must be equipped with a digital tachograph. Be aware of the new requirements The introduction of digital tachographs means changes for all parties, including a requirement to download, evaluate and archive digital tachograph data. For drivers this means learning how to operate this new technology in order to avoid unnecessary problems and downtime. Small businesses and fleet managers also need to get ready for digital tachographs. Our solutions support all aspects of digital tachographs Building on many years of experience in the field of tachographs, we have been involved in the development of digital tachographs right from the start. That is why we are able to offer powerful, user-friendly solutions that allow you to comply with new legal obligations fully while offering convenient handling, easy, flexible archiving and analysis solutions, plus maximum data security.

3 Be aware of your obligations and meet mandatory requirements with maximum ease Digital tachographs are replacing conventional tachographs with paper charts. The new systems digitally record data such as driving and rest times, speed and rpm, as well as information needed for calibration. The DTCO 1381 has been developed by working closely with the relevant authorities and meets all legal requirements. Driver card Company card Obligations for companies _ Obtain driver cards _ Obtain a company card (or multiple cards as required) _ Comply with legal driving and rest times _ Download mass memory data from digital tachographs using the company card _ Download driver card data _ Store/archive downloaded data In future, data from the mass memory units and driver cards associated with digital tachographs must be dealt with in the same way that tachograph charts from analogue tachographs have previously been evaluated and stored. This will be necessary as soon as a vehicle with a digital tachograph joins a fleet. Archiving obligations Previously, paper charts from analogue tachographs had to be held for 1 year. The following archiving obligations are defined for digital tachographs: _ Driver card data must be downloaded regularly _ Vehicle (mass memory) data must be downloaded regularly _ All archived data must be held for a period of at least 1 year Obligatory supervision The EEC regulations require the following: The transport manager must ensure that the directives on driving times, breaks from driving and rest times are complied with in accordance with Article 6, 7 Paragraph 1, 2, 4 and 5, as well as Article 8, 9 and 12 of Regulation (EEC) No. 3820/85. Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No. 3820/85 also applies. Assigning access rights via smart cards Special smart cards are used to determine access to certain types of digital tachograph data: Driver cards store driver activities, events and faults or changes of vehicle, while a company card is used to prevent unauthorised access to mass memory data. Control officers require a control card to access the system. Authorised workshops can activate the calibration function on the DTCO 1381 using their workshop card.
