What Are Automated Tachograph Downloads?
Automated tachograph downloads refer to the digital collection and storage of tachograph data, including driver activity, vehicle motion, speed, and driving and rest times, without requiring manual intervention. These systems securely transfer driver card and vehicle unit (VU) data to a central system at scheduled intervals.
Why Are Automated Tachograph Downloads Important?
Regulatory Compliance
EU Regulation 165/2014 and GB domestic regulations require operators to download:
- Driver card data* every 28 days
- Vehicle unit (VU) data* every 90 days
Failing to comply can lead to:
- Penalties or license suspension
- Risk of audit failure
- Higher insurance premiums
How Does It Work?
Typical Setup:
Vehicle Hardware: Installed telematics units or smart tachographs transmit VU data.
Driver Card Readers: Plugged into office hubs or integrated into vehicles to capture card data.
Cloud Software: Data is stored, analyzed, and presented via a dashboard.
Key Features:
- Automatic scheduling (e.g., every 7 days)
- Secure encryption & GDPR compliance
- Alerts for missing or corrupted data
- Compatibility with leading tachograph analysis tools (e.g., Tachomaster, TruTac, SmartAnalysis)
We Understand the Headaches
Manual downloads are time-consuming and prone to human error. Automation ensures consistent compliance with EU and UK tachograph regulations, while also offering insights that improve fleet management and driver performance.
Your Time
Manually downloading tachograph data requires physical access to each vehicle and driver card, which can be labor-intensive, especially for larger fleets.
Risk
Manual methods are prone to human error, such as missed downloads, incorrect data entry, or failure to store data properly
Reactive not proactive
Manual downloads do not provide real-time data access, so fleet managers cannot make timely decisions based on current driver and vehicle status
Technical Issues
Technical malfunctions, such as faulty card readers or corrupted data files, can complicate manual downloads and lead to incomplete or inaccurate records
That’s where we come in
