What is a HGV Tacograph?
A tachograph is a digital device that ensures that all driving activity is recorded, and is used to ensure that all drivers adhere to the laws on drivers hours, and is inserted into your vehicle. Tachographs are done to ensure that roads are safe for all drivers, and they are fitted to your vehicle and automatically record when your vehicle is in motion. There are two types of tachographs; analogue and digital, with digital tachographs being the most commonly used.
What Does a Tachograph Record?
A tachograph will record driver’s activity, distance travelled, whether it is a single or co-driver, the date, events that took place, speed, any tampering with the system, and any enforcement checks. If the goods vehicle that you drive comes under EU or AETR rules – you must have a tachograph fitted to your vehicle.
A digital tachograph unit is about the size of a car radio – and includes two digital smart card readers, one manual entry selector, a display screen and a printer. They are connected to your gearbox and motion sensors to be able to accurately record your vehicles data, and can store it for around 12 months.
