A tachograph is an essential tool to have in every vehicle in a fleet. This device collects important information regarding the hours drivers have spent on the road. Most importantly, tachographs help improve driver safety.
But for fleet managers, compliance processes associated with tachographs can be time consuming.

Nonetheless, getting an accurate picture of what happens on the road is an essential responsibility.
While the tachograph may be an old fixture, the way we use it has transformed dramatically.
