in connection with the new EU tachograph regulations*, we bring to your attention the following IMPORTANT FOR YOU information:
From 1 January 2025, logistics and transport companies across Europe will face stiff penalties if they fail to comply with new EU tachograph regulations. These regulations require the installation of new smart tachographs version 2 in trucks used for cross-border operations. This communication provides essential information for you on the upcoming changes, the penalties for non-compliance and the steps you can take to ensure your fleet is prepared.
Through a series of legal acts (at the bottom of this document), the European Union has introduced new regulations on tachographs to improve road safety, prevent data manipulation and ensure fair competition between transport companies. By the end of 2024, all old analogue or digital tachographs in trucks used for cross-border operations must be replaced, with the exception of smart tachographs version 1.
By August 2025, all smart tachographs version 1 used for cross-border operations must be upgraded to version 2.
Failure to comply with the new tachograph regulations will result in significant penalties. These penalties vary from one EU country to another, but usually include hefty fines and potential administrative measures. Here is a summary of the penalties in key EU countries:
Compliance with the new provisions does not only mean avoiding sanctions. Intelligent tachographs Version 2 offer a host of benefits including increased safety through better monitoring of driving and rest times, prevention of data manipulation and streamlined checks that reduce delays during inspections.
As the deadline for retrofitting old analogue or digital tachographs approaches, logistics companies need to take proactive measures to ensure compliance and avoid severe penalties. Effective planning is key, but using advanced fleet management solutions like KAST Engineering Ltd's remote tachograph solution can simplify this process, ensuring fleet operations remain smooth and efficient.
