Frequently asked questions from our customers about digital tachographs

In this FAQ section you will find specific information and answers about the digital tachograph. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, simply visit our general FAQ page or fill out our contact form - we will be happy to help you.

DTCO 4.1 tachographs from VDO are generally compatible with most telematics systems, but sometimes require configuration adjustments or hardware upgrades. TACHO - the solution from Rosenberger Telematics is 100% compatible and specially designed for the requirements of the Smart Tacho 2 from VDO and Stoneridge.

Ideally, our TACHO is installed together with the DTCO 4.1 to prevent the need for an additional workshop visit. In addition to tachograph data, it also records telemetry data and also ensures seamless data exchange between the two devices. You can access and analyse your driver and vehicle information at any time via the COMMANDER telematics software.

In addition to driving times, authenticated vehicle positions, border crossings, loading and unloading processes and weekly/fortnightly driving times are recorded. TACHO enables you to record and analyse all this relevant data centrally.

Thanks to Galileo satellite authentication and encrypted storage, modern systems guarantee maximum data security. TACHO protects your valuable data with the highest security standards and thus guarantees integrity and confidentiality.

The integration of telematics solutions such as TACHO offers fleet managers considerable advantages. It enables automated driving time monitoring, which not only helps to comply with legal requirements, but also effectively prevents fines and offences. Real-time tracking and remote reading of driver card data enables fleet managers to recognise potential problems at an early stage and make drivers more aware of the need to comply with regulations. In addition, they always have a detailed overview of their fleet's performance, which forms the basis for making informed decisions to optimise routes and reduce operating costs. In summary, TACHO offers a powerful solution to increase the efficiency and safety of your fleet.

From 2025: The retention obligation for tachograph data has been extended from 28 to 56 days. This applies in particular to driver card and digital tachograph data.

One year: According to the Driving Personnel Act (Section 4 (3)), companies must store the data copied from driver cards and mass storage devices for one year. After this period has expired, the data must be deleted by 31 March of the following year at the latest.

Two years: Analogue recording equipment (record sheets) and drivers' working time records must be kept for at least two years in Austria in accordance with Section 17b of the Working Hours Act.

In addition, employers must ensure that the data is downloaded, archived and deleted in a timely manner after the legal deadlines have expired in order to fulfil data protection requirements. TACHO helps you to fulfil these requirements effortlessly and to archive your documents securely.

The TACHO from Rosenberger Telematics is connected to a Smart Tacho 2 from VDO or Stoneridge.

It introduces stricter regulations on driving time recording, tampering detection and automated data transmission for inspections. You can find all the detailed information on this, as well as changeover times, in our blog article ‘Digital tachograph new regulation - 2nd generation’

Different vehicle standards, proprietary manufacturer parameters and differing units of measurement (e.g. gallons vs. litres) make it difficult to integrate telematics systems uniformly in international fleets. This variability can lead to inconsistent data that affects the efficiency and analysis of fleet management.

Users of our COMMANDER software are offered a simple solution:

We are manufacturer-independent and harmonise all data for the best overview and simplest evaluation and interpretation.
Units of measurement are defined via personalised settings so that fleet managers can display their data in the form that is most relevant to them. This enables precise analysis, regardless of geographical location or the specific requirements of vehicle manufacturers.

This flexibility ensures that you can enjoy seamless integration and use of our telematics solutions despite the challenges of globalisation. This allows you to access key metrics of your fleet to monitor performance and make informed decisions that optimise your operating costs and maximise efficiency.

Monitoring of the vehicles in real time

Your mixed fleet of lorries is constantly on the road and it is almost impossible to keep track of all your vehicles. With our telematics solution, however, this becomes child's play.

Regardless of whether your vehicles are currently on the move or not - you get an exact overview of where your vehicles are at any time and from anywhere.
You have access to all historical data such as routes travelled or driving and driving times at all times. This allows you to check exactly which driver has driven which lorry where and for how long.

Early detection of theft and offences

The COMMANDER telematics software gives you full control over the security of your vehicle. You can set up individual alarms and specify who should be notified in the event of an emergency. As soon as your vehicle enters or leaves a predefined zone or is activated outside working hours, you will immediately receive an alarm message. In this way, theft, fraud and misuse can be effectively prevented.

"The combination of telematics and digital tachographs has given us a clear competitive advantage.

With the TACHO telematics solution, we can not only track the vehicle positions, but also keep an eye on the remaining driving times. As a result, we always know exactly when a break needs to be taken and can therefore provide the drivers with optimum support and maximise the performance of the fleet. In addition, driver and vehicle data is automatically downloaded and archived in accordance with the law. The early detection of problems and the detailed evaluation of vehicle data allow us to optimise our planning, increase safety and significantly reduce operating costs."
