What are my legal
obligations as a fleet
operator?
Since May of 2006, all newly licensed HGVs of more than 3.5 t 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.
Data that was recorded on tachograph charts in the past is now electronically stored in the mass memory of the
digital tachograph and on the driver card. To fulfil your legal obligations as a fleet operator, you must regularly
download and archive the data from your digital tachographs and driver cards.
The tasks and obligations involved in complying with Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006 are
listed below for you.
Digital tachograph
Company preparations
The digital tachograph is activated before the ve hicle 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.
A person who drives a digital tachograph-equipped HGV must possess a valid driver card.
Printing paper must be inserted in the digital tachograph. We recommend that you keep sufficient replacement rolls of printing paper in the vehicle.
Archiving data
Driver card data must be downloaded and electronically archived every 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.
In accordance with the pertinent regulation for driving crews, the data must be deleted upon expiry of the data
storage time limit.
* Legislation may b e countr y-spec ific and mu st be adhe red to acco rdingly.

What benefits do I have from
a digital tachograph?
The changeover to the digital tachograph means considerable organisational
changes and investments for you. Make the most of the opportunity this
changeover offers you – and increase the efficiency of your fleet!
Using a suitable data management solution, you can not only archive your data in accord-
�
ance with legal regulations, you can also extract valuable business management information
from the digital archive data. You can use that data to optimise your organisation and improve
your operational procedures; because only in this way can you recoup your investments
quickly and achieve sustainable profits.
• Save time when controlling driving
times and rest periods and when
monitoring infringements.
• Optimise your vehicle utilisation and
save costs.
Depending on your company-specific requirements, VDO offers you various data management solutions, all of which comply fully with the legal regulations and provide many
options for data evaluation. Visit www.dtco.vdo.com/downloads for a clearly laid out
brochure about digital tachographs and product information about other VDO solutions.
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.
• Improve your personnel planning
and reduce bottlenecks and drivers’
idle time.
• Automate your maintenance
and workshop plans – and avoid
unnecessary wear and tear and
accidents.

How does the DTCO® 1381 work?
The DTCO® 1381 fully complies with Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006 – and
because it is a truly innovative system component, it can be optimally
inte grated with trendsetting vehicle technology.
What kind of data can the DTCO® 1381 record?
• Driving time, working time, availability time and rest periods for drivers
and co-drivers
• The speed driven during every
second of the previous 168 hours
of driving time
Where is the recorded data stored?
• Vehicle-related data is stored in
the integrated mass memory. The
capacity of the integrated mass
memory is sufficient for recording
approx. 365 days of activities.
• The distance driven since the driver
card was last inserted
• Operation-specific parameters like,
for example, rpm and other vehiclerelated work procedures and events
• Driving times and rest periods are
also registered on individual driver
cards. Up to 28 days of data can be
stored on a driver card.
What benefits can the DTCO® 1381
offer me?
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. Years of priceless experience and know-how have
gone into the design and manufacture of the DTCO® 1381 by VDO. It is an
established, technologically superb device and one which sets the standards
for cutting edge performance, user friendliness and data security.
Components of the DTCO® 1381 in 1-DIN radio format
• Registration unit incl. mass memory
• Two fully automatic chip card
readers for the four different tachograph cards
• Integrated printer for printing out
legally prescribed reports, graphical
speed profiles and activity protocols
• Intuitive menu navigation and user
guidance

• Front design in accordance with
ECE R21
• Real-time clock based on UTC
(universal time coordinated)
• Display for showing essential information, e. g. the current driving time
and rest period account

Concise printouts in the form of bar graphs and graphs display easy-to-read speed profiles of the previous
24 hours, plus driving time and rest periods for the previous 7 days; so you know at a glance if infringements
exist – and can then react in a timely manner.

Early warnings
With DTCO® 1381 Rel. 1.3U, drivers, company owners, workshops and controlling bodies are given timely
warning that their individual tachograph cards will soon expire. Advance warning times can be individually set
between 0 (OFF) and 90 days. When the defined advance warning time is exceeded, the warning message
®
will be displayed on the display of the DTCO
Advance warnings can also be set for periodic inspections of the DTCO
each time a card is ejected.

.
Storing additional data
In addition to the legally prescribed storing of driver and vehicle-related data, the DTCO® 1381 Rel. 1.3U also
records additional data which you can use for further processing and evaluation in a data management solution
like e. g. TIS-Web
®
or TIS-Office®:
168 hours of “detailed speed”
®
The DTCO
registers the speed driven during the previous 168 hours of driving time, second
by second. In contrast to the legally prescribed recording of the previous 24 hours, this speed
data is not signed – and this results in a significant reduction of download times.
Odometer reading when vehicle stops
®
In compliance with the pertinent legal regulation, the DTCO
records the current odometer
reading and saves it in the mass memory each time the vehicle stops for longer than two
minutes.
Odometer reading when driver status changes
The current odometer reading is saved whenever a driver event (like a change of status)
occurs.
Fast Download
The Fast Download function significantly reduces the download time of legally required data (activities of the
previous three months).
Depending on your company-specific requirements, VDO offers you various integrated and customised data management solutions. Ask your VDO service partner for more product information about
individual solutions – or visit our website at www.dtco.vdo.com

Remote Download – efficient data
transfer by wireless
One especially convenient function the DTCO® 1381 offers you is the easy, fast
and efficient wireless transfer of mass memory and driver card data by means
of the Download Device (DLD®).
All you need is an update card to activate the DTCO® 1381’s front interface for wireless transmission. The chip
card must only be inserted once into the DTCO
One major advantage of wireless transmission is that 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 downloaded
in compliance with the legal deadlines for downloading and transferred directly to the archive. This means that
you can access fleet-relevant data whenever you want.
You’ll find more detailed information about DLD
®
1381 – the update will then be carried out automatically.
