Tachograph analysis software for proactive fleet management
Turn tachograph data into a practical fleet compliance tool for your customers. With tachograph software functionality built into Wialon, your clients can spot approaching driving time limits before they turn into violations, receive timely alerts and request tachograph files automatically when needed. Give fleet owners a clear way to handle EU driving and rest-time regulations as part of their everyday fleet management workflows.
Give customers a live view of tachograph compliance risks
What your customers get: a live fleet view that replaces manual file collection and cross-referencing of tachograph data.
How fleets maintain tachograph compliance
Top-down fleet view
View key driver and tachograph information in one workspace instead of switching between separate files.
Early visibility into compliance risks
Timely decisions lead to fewer violations. Wialon helps fleet managers stay fully informed about potential risks and act before limits are reached.
Automatic driver handling
Driver profiles are created automatically when new tachograph files are uploaded. Drivers are auto-assigned to vehicles based on driver card detection. Less manual work, more accurate data, no “orphaned” files.
Remote file retrieval
Relevant tachograph data can be requested at any time — on demand or on a schedule. No more gaps in tachograph compliance history.
All fleet data in one place
Tachograph data is available alongside driver details, real-time vehicle tracking, trips, reports and other features for efficient fleet digitalization.

Common questions about tachograph control with Wialon
What is a tachograph?
A tachograph is a device installed in commercial vehicles to record driving time, speed, distance traveled, and periods of work, availability, and rest.
What is tachograph analysis software?
Tachograph software is used to collect, organize and interpret records from vehicle tachographs. Wialon combines automatic retrieval of .ddd tachograph files with a live view of current status, remaining drive time and approaching limits. This enables fleet managers to spot potential risks before they become actual violations and act accordingly.
What are the EU driving time and rest period rules?
Under the general EU rules, daily driving is limited to 9 hours, extendable to 10 hours twice a week; weekly driving is limited to 56 hours and driving over any 2 consecutive weeks to 90 hours. A break of at least 45 minutes is required after no more than 4.5 hours of driving. Daily rest is generally at least 11 hours.
These are the baseline limits; splitting and reduction rules also apply, as well as certain exceptions and national derogations. Fleets should confirm the exact rules for each operation.
How often should tachograph data be downloaded?
EU rules set maximum intervals of 28 days for driver-card data and 90 days for vehicle-unit data, but earlier retrieval may be required in specific situations. Operators should verify applicable national requirements and maintain access to records for inspections.
Can Wialon download tachograph data remotely?
Yes, Wialon Platform can request supported files remotely on demand or on schedule, reducing dependence on depot visits, which is what makes tachograph compliance workable for fleets whose vehicles rarely come home.
What happens if EU driving or resting limits are exceeded?
Breaches can lead to penalties and enforcement action, but the type and severity depend on the specific violation and the country applying the rules. Operators should rely on current legal guidance for every jurisdiction. Wialon Platform helps teams see approaching or exceeded limits sooner; it does not guarantee compliance or replace legal review.
Which vehicles need a tachograph in the EU?
The rules generally cover goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and passenger vehicles constructed or permanently adapted to carry more than nine people including the driver, subject to exemptions. Since 1 July 2026, they also cover 2.5–3.5 tonne vehicles used for international transport or cabotage for hire or reward.

It helps them design and brand fleet management solutions for everyday tasks and more specialized use cases, including customizable analytics, emissions reporting, and indoor asset tracking.
