Mechanical tacho charts will be around for years.

• Digital tachographs, when legal, will rarely be fitted retrospectively (other than for failure).
• Penetration of the current UK fleet may be less than 10% a year = to new-vehicle replacement rate.
• No one knows when digital tachographs will be legal and there are many unresolved security and operational issues.

Transition

• To be useful, tacho digital data will need integration with mechanical tacho chart data
• The integration will need a single analysis process.
• TruTac will provide this service to its clients with a seamless Transition.
• TruTac is already 'geared up' for the introduction of digital tachographs.

Patchy Alternatives:

While many in-cab electronic systems offer similar information they are:-

• More expensive - at any cost, they are an extra cost to the tacho chart legal minimum
• Not on every vehicle - especially if spot hired during busy periods.
• Not mandatory - not legally required to be present or available and certified accurate.
