Remote Tachograph Download
Handling tachograph data is a legal requirement, but managing it doesn’t have to mean manual downloads or card swapping. Kiho’s Remote Tachograph Download module transfers both driver card and tachograph data automatically, with no extra effort needed from drivers or supervisors.
For companies running multiple vehicles and drivers, this translates to major time savings and confidence that all required data is captured on time. Information is ready when it’s needed—whether for inspections, invoicing or internal reporting. Remote tachograph download is the smart, precise way to get it done.
Manual Downloads Are History – Tachograph Data Now Moves Automatically
No more chasing vehicles with a reader. Everything happens automatically in the background with Kiho. Remote reading meets regulatory requirements (e.g. EU regulations), allowing supervisors to focus on actual management rather than chasing data.
Drivers are identified directly via their tachograph card, with no need for extra stamps or separate IDs. This improves the accuracy of driving behaviour monitoring and links every driving performance to the correct driver automatically. Work time entries can also be generated in Kiho based on the tachograph data, cutting down on manual input and simplifying the workday.
How Remote Tachograph Downloads works in practice
1.
Data is Automatically Stored
The driver gets into the vehicle, starts the day’s tasks, and finishes when done. Tachograph data is transferred automatically without any action required from them.
At the end of the day, the company has all legally required data stored without a single extra step.
2.
Downloads Occur Effortlessly
Manual card downloads and physical checks are eliminated. Remote download means data is transferred at the right time and securely stored in the system.
Example: A tachograph data inspection request comes from an authority. The file is readily available from Kiho without any frantic searching.
3.
Driver Identification
When a driver changes, the new card is recognised without extra hassle. Driving performance information is immediately updated to the correct person.
Example: The morning shift driver hands over the vehicle to the evening shift driver. Each performance is recorded correctly without manual entries.
4.
Combine Driving Data with Other Operational Data
When tachograph data is integrated with the driving log, work time tracking, and vehicle usage, the overall picture from costs to efficiency can be monitored.
Example: Vehicle utilisation rate and driver work time are analyzed together, and BI reporting shows where there is still room for improvement.
Remote Tachograph Download Streamlines Work and Enhances Data Reliability
Vehicle data transfers to Kiho automatically. Tachograph records are stored in the system and ready whenever needed. This simplifies data management and supports safer, more responsible, and more efficient driving.
Digital Tachograph Remote Download integrates smoothly with other Kiho modules. It’s especially effective when used alongside the Driving Log, Work Time Tracking, and Fleet Management—so you always know who’s driving, what they’re driving, how, when, and why.
When tachograph data moves automatically, you save time, cut down on errors, and sharpen your fleet management.
Why Is a Tachograph System Needed?
The purpose of a digital tachograph system is to promote road safety, support fair competition between transport operators, and improve working conditions for drivers. Digital tachographs are mandatory across all EU countries and are also in use in countries that follow the AETR agreement.
