As of August 2025, fleet operators have had to retrofit their fleets with second-edition tachographs to meet the EU’s rules for international transport. One haulier has already been fined £9,000 for tachograph and drivers’ hours offences. Each digital tachograph produces hundreds of data points per shift, from driving time to rest breaks and speed profiles. When small and medium-sized carriers struggle to centralize tachograph data effectively, they often leave compliance officers to patch gaps manually. Vehicles equipped with Tacho 2 can transmit compliance data without being stopped, meaning compliant drivers are less likely to be pulled over and delayed.
