Tachograph

Remote tachograph download and driving time control

Stop chasing drivers for card downloads. Tafi GPS reads the digital tachograph through the tracker in the truck, archives the .ddd files and checks them against the EU driving and rest time rules.

Tachograph data and driver activity in Tafi GPS

Driver cards and vehicle units, downloaded remotely

With a Teltonika FMB640, FMC650 or FMM650 connected to the tachograph, driver card and vehicle unit (VU) files are downloaded over the mobile network — vehicle unit downloads are authenticated with your company card. Files are archived per driver and per vehicle, and you can see at a glance which downloads are done and which are due.

  • Driver card and vehicle unit downloads without a workshop visit
  • Company card authentication handled by the platform
  • Archive per driver and per vehicle
  • Original .ddd files downloadable as a single archive per period

Driving and rest times, live

The tracker also passes on what the tachograph knows right now: each driver's activity, remaining driving time and the next required break or rest. The dispatcher sees it next to the truck on the map before promising the next load.

  • Current activity of driver 1 and driver 2
  • Remaining daily and weekly driving time
  • Next break and rest period

We set up the demo, connect a tracker and show you the result on your own routes.

Infringements found before an inspection does

Downloaded activity is analysed against Regulation (EC) No 561/2006: daily and weekly driving, breaks, daily and weekly rest. Each infringement shows the rule, the measured value, the period and its severity, and can be reviewed, confirmed or dismissed by your team.

  • Daily and weekly driving limits
  • Breaks and daily or weekly rest
  • Severity levels and a review workflow
