Data management for fleets

What does legislation require?
And how can I utilise this?
Since May of 2006, all newly licensed HGV’s 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.
To fulfil your legal obligations as a fleet owner, you must regularly download and archive the data from your digital
tachographs and driver cards. The digital archive is also a valuable database – using the right tools, you can
extract important business management information which you can use to optimise your company operations.
What you must do to comply with the law:
§
• Driver card data must be down-
loaded and electronically archived
every 28 days* at the latest.
• Digital tachograph vehicle data
must be downloaded and archived
every 3 months* at the latest.
• All vehicle and driver data must be
stored for a period of 1 year* and,
if necessary, made available to the
authorities for inspection.
*Legis lation may be c ountry-s pecific a nd must be adh ered to acco rdingly.

How you can benefit from this :
�
• Optimise your vehicle utilisation
and save costs.
• 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.
