HGV tracking with remote tachograph download

Every HGV operator has to download driver cards at least every 28 days and vehicle units at least every 90. By hand, that means getting trucks back to the depot and someone chasing card readers. A CAN-connected tracker does it over the air while the truck carries on working.

Downloads that happen on schedule, not when the truck is in

The Teltonika FMC650 connects to the tachograph and the vehicle CAN bus. On a Fleetalyse HGV Pro plan it downloads driver card and vehicle unit files remotely and stores them. It also reads the calibration date, so nobody has to remember when the next calibration is due.

Live driver hours and real vehicle data

You also see where each truck is and how much driving time its driver has left. The FMC650 reads the real odometer, fuel and engine data from the CAN bus, and that goes into your fuel reports and maintenance planning.

Installed properly the first time

This needs an experienced commercial-vehicle fitter to connect power, ignition, the CAN or FMS interface and the tachograph. The easy-installation tachograph cables plug in between the existing connectors, so nobody cuts or splices the truck's wiring.

Questions fleets ask

How often must tachographs be downloaded?

In the UK, driver cards at least every 28 days and vehicle units at least every 90 days. With remote download you can do both more often, and the truck never has to come in for it.

Which plan includes remote tachograph download?

The Fleetalyse HGV Pro plan. You also need a compatible tracker, such as the FMC650.

Do I need the tachograph cable?

We strongly recommend it. The easy-installation cable connects the tracker to the tachograph without splicing into the truck wiring, so the install stays tidy and can be undone later.
