Continental receives type approval for its intelligent tachograph

The technology company Continental has received type approval for its intelligent digital tachograph and speed sensor, a press release shows.

The first commercial vehicle manufacturers have already started to install the system, so the first models with the new technology will soon be delivered to dealers and fleet operators.

“We implemented the complex industrialization process as efficiently as possible, parallel to the production of the DTCO 3.0,” says Lutz Scholten, Vice President of the Tachographs, Telematics & Services Segment at Continental.

According to the new tachographs regulation (EU) 165/2014, all newly registered trucks must have an intelligent digital tachograph on board from June 15, 2019.
