Reading – tachograph data download module

As a fleet manager, it's important to know your obligations regarding tachograph data recording, since breaching them can be a costly mistake. With the Tachograph module offered by CargoTrack you'll be able to download data from the digital tachograph and the driver card remotely. What's more, the tachograph data download solution simplifies the process of accounting for the data, since all information is collected automatically.

What does this mean for you?

Less time spent on tachograph downloads and fewer human errors in downloading and storing data. Data from the digital tachograph and the driver card is transmitted in the format adopted at European level, “.ddd”. The solution can also read data from driver cards issued in any country.
