Are you ready for the 2026 deadline? Act now!
On 1 July 2026, the EU Mobility Package reaches its final deadline: Smart Tacho 2 will be mandatory for
LCVs (over 2.5 tonnes) used for international transport. Waiting too long can result in limited workshop
availability, vehicle downtime, or compliance risks.
The benefits of a Smart Tacho 2
The Smart Tacho 2 is designed to support the enforcement of the EU Mobility Package while making compliance easier for fleets and drivers. And even though this will be the first time that a tachograph is mandatory for LCVs, this technology brings some benefits! Smart Tacho 2 is not just a regulatory requirement. It’s a practical tool to improve efficiency and reliability across your operation. You can plan better, with fewer infringements of the rules.
To make the transition to the Smart Tacho 2 as easy as possible, we offer access to training and technical support, so everyone knows how to operate the tachograph.
