With the introduction of the Smart Tachograph Version 2 in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/799 in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1228, in our case DTCO 4.1/4.1a, the regulations for periodic testing of tachograph systems have also changed in part.
Smart Tachographs Version 2 must be updateable and a map update prescribed by the EU may result in a mandatory update of the tachograph.
This update must then be carried out at the latest during the next periodic check. With our WorkshopTab, this is proactively pointed out and updates can be carried out directly in a user-guided manner.
There will also be a separate update software from VDO for the DTCO 4.1/4.1a. This software can then be used to install all DTCO 4.1/4.1a updates. The software will be available before the first DTCO 4.1/4.1a update and can be installed on Windows 10/11 operating systems.
The exact technical requirements will be announced in due time.
The WorkshopTab patch version 4.9.7 also adds the ability to activate and calibrate the SE5000 Smart 2.
As far as technically possible and if other manufacturers provide appropriate update software, it is our goal to also integrate the update function for all other Smart Tachographs Version 2 on the market into our WorkshopTab in order to offer workshops the best possible service.
With the WorkshopTab you can make any settings for all the available DTCO variants in the market. However, their programming in accordance with the various parameters of the vehicle manufacturers and the setup of individual CAN data recording is only possible with the WorkshopTab.
