As part of the Mobility Package, international transport vehicles that are still equipped with an analog or digital tachograph must be retrofitted to a second-generation smart tachograph (Gen2) this year. This mandate applies to all vehicles engaged in cross-border traffic with a permissible total weight exceeding 3.5 tons. As the deadline is approaching fast, pressure is mounting on companies to take action.
As millions of tachographs in Europe need to be retrofitted, backlogs in workshop scheduling are emerging. Stoneridge therefore emphasizes the importance of planning retrofit projects well in advance. It is advisable to combine retrofit appointments with regular maintenance or inspections to minimize downtime. If you are an international operator without your mandatory Smart 2 tachograph upgrade plan in place yet, we urge you to act now!

For international transport companies that have not yet taken action, time is certainly running out fast, as the number of available time slots in the workshop is rapidly decreasing. Even if operators were to start planning the retrofitting of their vehicles today, there is a significant possibility that not all required vehicles will be retrofitted on time. Stoneridge urges you to take action now!

This package, known as the Mobility Package, consists of a series of regulations impacting the transport industry. As part of this legislation, trucks involved in international transport equipped with an analogue or 1B digital tachograph are required to retrofit a smart 2 tachograph by the end of 2024.
