🚐 2026 Smart Tachograph Rules – Are Your Vans Ready?
From 1 July 2026, all light commercial vehicles (2.5–3.5t) used for cross-border transport must be fitted with the second-generation smart tachograph under rules introduced by the European Commission.
Non-compliance can mean fines of up to €1,500 per inspection in countries such as Germany — plus the risk of vehicles being stopped at borders. If your vans operate internationally, compliance is essential.
The Ongoing Challenge
Installing the new tachograph is only part of the job. Operators must also:
- Regularly download driver and vehicle data
- Store records for at least 12 months
- Monitor driving and rest time compliance
Missed downloads or poor record-keeping can be just as costly as not upgrading.
