Digital solution to handle tachograph infringements
FleetCheck and VDO will launch a new digital solution that digitally streamlines the handling of tachograph infringements.
If VDO’s Tachograph Management software records an infringement, such as contravening driver hours regulations, a record will automatically appear in the vehicle operator’s FleetCheck system.
An infringement notice will also be sent to the driver responsible through the FleetCheck app, who uses it to digitally acknowledge, sign, and return.
Further developments planned for the near future will mean this activity can also be reviewed on a new dashboard, detailing all infringements occurring across the fleet.
Barrie Wilson, strategic relationship manager at FleetCheck, said: “Existing tacho infringement processes are often paper or email based, and are slow, messy and prone to error. Through our links with VDO, we’ve been able to make the process faster, easier and more accurate.
“It’s an innovation that will create savings in administration for fleets and drivers, as well as making compliance record keeping more exact.”
Daniel Osborne, UK and Ireland fleet solutions sales manager at VDO, added: “The new function will be initially introduced in the UK and we are also examining its potential for use across Europe, as it is already compliant with EU regulations. This is a really useful enhancement for vehicle operators and further proof of the value of our integration with FleetCheck.”
