2nd generation intelligent tachograph

Our LE series devices support the downloading of DDD files from G2V2 tachographs.

The new generation of tachographs, known as second-generation intelligent tachographs (G2V2), introduces a range of advanced features designed to improve road safety and driver working conditions. Key innovations include:

• Increased Memory Capacity: The new tachographs can store more data, allowing for a longer retention period and more accurate analysis.
• Automatic Boundary Crossing Registration: Thanks to the integrated GNSS system, tachographs automatically record entry and exit times when crossing country borders, simplifying driver delegation and working time settlements.
• Remote Communication: The built-in DSRC module allows authorities to remotely read data from the device without the need to stop the vehicle, speeding up and streamlining roadside checks.

The introduction of these devices is associated with new regulations regarding their installation in vehicles. The mandatory installation schedule for G2V2 tachographs is as follows:

• By December 31, 2024: Vehicles registered before June 15, 2019, equipped with analog or first-generation digital tachographs, must be upgraded to second-generation intelligent tachographs.
• By August 18, 2025: Vehicles registered between June 15, 2019, and August 20, 2023, equipped with first-generation intelligent tachographs, must also transition to the second version.
• From July 1, 2026: The requirement to install tachographs will also apply to vans with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) between 2.5 and 3.5 tons, used in international freight transport within the EU. Vehicles used in domestic transport will remain exempt from this obligation.

It is important to note that the introduction of new tachographs requires training for drivers and technical personnel on their use. Additionally, transport companies should plan the process of replacing devices, both tachographs and their remote reading systems, well in advance to avoid potential downtime and ensure compliance with upcoming regulations.
