Analogue v digital Tachographs

An immediate benefit of the digital tachograph is that it has officially succeeded the deprecated analogue tachograph, and is therefore considered to be the current technology. It requires the tachograph head, a digital driver card and a unit attached to the gearbox. Everything is stored digitally and processed automatically by digital tachograph software, and data is locked to specific company cards in case the vehicle changes hands at any point.

What are the Tachograph regulations?

UK driver’s hour laws are set out in conjunction with the current EU legislation and include several key points concerning rest times, daily driving limits and total weekly/fortnightly driving periods. A digital tachograph usually takes care of recording driving and rest times, but it is essential to be aware of the rules, so you know you’re operating within the confines of the law.

What type of Tachograph rolls do I need?

Tachograph rolls are special thermal paper rolls used in digital tachographs to record a driver's activities, including driving time, rest periods, and other work. Our premium quality digital tachograph rolls are EU approved for use with all digital tachograph units. Digital tachograph units should always have a printer roll in the unit and at least one spare digital tachograph roll in the cab as well.

What software do I need?

To manage and analyse tachograph data, you need both tachograph analysis software and appropriate hardware. The software helps you download, view, and interpret data from driver cards and vehicle units, while the hardware (like a card reader and sometimes a vehicle unit reader) facilitates the data transfer. We have a range of digital tachograph analysis solutions here
