This week is the end of the extension to upgrade to the second generation intelligent tachograph for all trucks engaged in international transport. Therefore, this is the end of analogue and digital tachographs for this routes.
This device is mandatory for all vehicles registered after August 2023 and all trucks in Rios Sangiao's food liquid transport fleet are already equipped with second generation smart tachographs.
What is new in second generation smart tachographs?
The new smart tachographs are EGNOS compatible with the European global positioning network Galileo, in addition to any other systems that may be available, and autonomously record country changes and loading or unloading points. Previous tachographs only recorded the position at the beginning and end of the day and every 3 hours of driving.
The driver shall be able to confirm in real time information that the vehicle is being loaded or unloaded or that a simultaneous loading/unloading operation is taking place. This information shall be entered before the vehicle leaves the site.
Higher storage capacity of up to 56 days.
The tachograph incorporates anti-tampering measures such as satellite signal authentication and internal sensors.
New changes to the legislation will be implemented through software updates.
In short, the end of analogue and digital tachographs and the new second-generation intelligent tachographs will improve safety and competitiveness by ensuring responsible driving and compliance with legislation by all players in the sector. Aware of this improvement, we have already adopted this system in our fleet in which the optimisation of routes, breaks and traceability processes are essential aspects for our quality control and compliance with our objectives.
