Is your fleet compliant yet? By August 19, 2025, all international transport vehicles equipped with first-generation Smart 1 tachographs must upgrade to the second-generation Smart 2 tachograph. This regulation is part of the EU Mobility Package. The aim of this package is to enhance road safety, improve working conditions for drivers, and ensure fair competition in the transport sector. Make sure you are compliant and schedule your retrofit with Stoneridge today.
This retrofit is mandatory and applies to all vehicles operating internationally that currently use Smart 1 tachographs. These vehicles must be retrofitted with a Smart 2 tachograph to comply with EU legislation. Does this apply to you? If so, it‘s time to start the retrofit process as soon as possible.
Retrofitting to the Smart 2 tachograph brings several key benefits. Drivers will benefit from improved data accuracy, enhanced security, and a range of advanced features. These include automated border crossings, position authentication via Galileo OSNMA, and Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), which allows compliant drivers to continue their journey uninterrupted—saving valuable time and resources. It’s all about making life on the road easier and more efficient.
