Introduction

In today’s fleet industry, compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about creating safer roads and smarter operations. With the help of digital tachograph technology from our partner VDO , FleetCheck helps fleet managers ensure drivers operate within Driver Hours and Working Time Rules, avoid fatigue, and maintain better control over working patterns.

Digital tachographs have transformed how fleets manage compliance. No longer reliant on paper records or manual records, operators now have access to accurate, tamper-proof data that shows exactly when a vehicle was driven, who was behind the wheel, and for how long.

This information plays a crucial role in identifying potential risks, particularly around the following key areas, by capturing and analysing this data, fleet managers can ensure drivers are operating safely and legally — before issues become incidents.

Real-World Impact: Improving Compliance and Safety

Across the industry, fleet operators are seeing the benefits of using tachograph data to support safer driving practices and stronger regulatory compliance.

For example, analysis from the DVSA¹ has shown that fleets using digital tachograph data to monitor driver hours and rest periods experience improved compliance with driver hours  regulations and reduced fatigue-related incidents.

These real-world applications highlight how statutory data captured by tachographs helps fleets make informed decisions that keep drivers safe and operations compliant.

With VDO tachograph integration and FleetCheck’s intuitive analytics, you’re not just staying compliant — you’re driving smarter, safer operations.
