Since May of 2006, all newly licensed HGV’s of more than 3.5t and vehicles
for the conveyance of more than 9 passengers including the driver must
be equipped with a digital tachograph, in accordance with Regulation (EC)
No. 561/2006.
All vehicle data from digital tachographs and driver data from driver cards must be archived in accordance with
legislation. At least one company card must be available per company and every driver who drives a vehicle
equipped with a digital tachograph must have his own driver card. Card validity and archiving time limit regulations are country-specific and must be adhered to accordingly.
In accordance with Regulation (EC ) No. 561/2006, Regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85,
§
Regulation (EC) No. 1360/2002 the following specific provisions apply:
The vehicle registration numbers
•
of all newly licensed vehicles must
be entered in the digital tacho-graphs by an authorised workshop
within 14 days after vehicle registration.
Driver card data must be down-
•
loaded and electronically archived
every 28 days* at the latest.
The vehicle data from digital
•
tachographs must be downloaded
and electronically archived every
3 months* at the latest.
The company transport officer must
•
check the downloaded data and
ensure that driving times and rest
periods are adhered to. If infringements occur, he must inform the
driver and warn him accordingly.
In order to ensure a high level of
•
data security, the data archive must
be regularly backed up to a sepa-rate data disk.
All vehicle and driver data must be
•
stored for a period of 1 year* and,
if necessary, made available to the
authorities for inspection.
There are various systems on the market today which can accomplish all these tasks. The systems differ
greatly as regards user friendliness, flexibility, reliability and additional functions – even if they do fulfil all the
legal requirements.
You can of course equip older vehicles with digital tachographs as well – this is extremely useful if you
wish to carry out really intensive comparative evaluations of vehicle and driver data in order to optimise
your operations. Your VDO service partner will be pleased to provide assistance should you require it.
*Legislation may be country-specif ic and mu st be adhe red to according ly.
What changes have occurred
due to the introduction of digital
tachographs?
The data that used to be recorded on tachograph charts is now electronically
stored in the mass memory of the digital tachograph and on the driver card.
The following table shows you the tasks and new responsibilities which are required
since the introduction of digital tachographs.
Analogue tachograph
Company preparations
A sufficient number of the relevant tachograph
charts must be on hand in each vehicle.
A secure filing location on company premises must
be made available for the tachograph charts.
Archiving data
The tachograph charts must be stored for at least
two years*.
Your vehicle dealer will gladly provide you with more information about authorised workshops
in your vicinity, or you can visit www.vdo.com/dtco.
Digital tachograph
The digital tachograph is activated before the
vehicle is commissioned. An authorised workshop
must then calibrate the digital tachograph for the
vehicle within 14 days and enter the vehicle registration number.
Every company must have at least one company
card.
Every driver must have his driver card on hand.
Printing paper must be inserted in the digital tachograph. We recommend that you keep sufficient
replacement rolls of printing paper in the vehicle.
Driver card data must be downloaded and electronically archived ever y 28 days* at the latest.
Digital tachograph data must be downloaded and
electronically archived every 3 months* at the latest.
Archived data must be stored for at least 1 year*.
Backup copies of data must also be made – and,
if necessary, proof must be provided that backup
copies exist.
In accordance with the pertinent regulation for driving
crews, the data must be deleted upon expir y of the
data storage time limit.
*Legislation may be country-specif ic and mu st be adhe red to according ly.

The DTCO® 1381
VDO has been a market leader in the tachograph
business for many years – and the company was one
of the first to start developing digital tachographs. This
R&D resulted in the introduction of the market’s first
digital tachograph in May of 2006. VDO’s DTCO® 1381
is a technologically superb and mature device – one
which sets the standards for cutting edge performance, user friendliness and data security.

Printer paper is required for checks en route and for

paper must be inserted in the tachograph at all times.
We recommend that you carry sufficient replacement
rolls in the vehicle to create control printouts of the
previous 28 days.
The Original VDO Printer Paper has been especially
conceived for use in vehicles – its special coating
guarantees excellent legibility and consistency, even
with intensive fluctuations in temperature. It is available
in authorised service workshops Europe-wide and
can also be used in the digital tachographs of other
manufacturers.

How does my data get to the office?
To comply with the legally prescribed archiving regulations, you must regularly
download the data from the mass memory of the digital tachograph and driver
card (more on this on Page 2).
Many different download solutions by VDO are available for data downloading, all customised for various applica-
tions. They are also extremely user-friendly and possess the ultimate in data security systems.

Remote Download Device ( DLD®)
DLD® is the comfortable solution for transferring mass
memory and driver card data by wireless. The download process is controlled from the office computer,
which means that the company card can stay in the
office. Driver and vehicle data can then be download
ed in compliance with the legal deadlines for downloading and transferred directly to the TIS archive. At
no time does a company card have to be inserted in
the digital tachograph.
The DLD® is available in two different versions:
DLD® Short Range – via WLAN on the fleet site
If the vehicle is in a defined area of the fleet site, e. g.
the company petrol station, the DLD® Short Range
can be used to transmit data via a local wireless network (WLAN).
No fee is payable for data transfer, because data
transfer takes place on the existing company network.
DLD® Wide Range – Europe-wide via GPRS
When you use the DLD® Wide Range, data is transferred to a VDO download server via a mobile wireless
network (GPRS). You can access the VDO server via
a protected Internet access. Mass memory and driver
card downloading can thus take place anywhere and
at anytime.

What do I do with the
downloaded data?
The perfect answer to this question is called TIS (Tachograph Information
System). To comply with your legal obligations, you must visualise the downloaded data, archive it for 1 year* and make it available to the relevant authorities upon demand. You can evaluate the data using an appropriate data management solution in order to optimise your operational procedures – and you
can use the data for business management purposes as well.
To make the best possible use of the data, you need a data management solution – one which
optimally supports your specific requirements. However, before you buy such a solution, you
should ask yourself the following questions:
Do I only want to comply with the
•
legal archiving obligations – or do I
want to make use of the data for my
business?
Do I only want to visualise the
•
archived data from individual drivers
and vehicles – or make higher-level
evaluations?
How large and organised is my
•
fleet: is it centrally organised or is
it decentralised?
Who should have access to
•
specific data: company owners,
employees, procurement managers, etc?
*Legislation may be country-specif ic and mu st be adhe red to according ly.
