What do you need to know?
Before you start planning, learn the key terms
What is a tachograph?
A device mounted in the vehicle that records the driver's driving time, breaks, and rests.
We install VDO tachographs at authorized DBK points.
What is telematics?
A GPS system that allows you to track the vehicle's position and analyze the route.
Our plug&play solution can be installed in 5 minutes.
Additionally, it allows remote downloading of DDD files.
What is a TMS used for?
Transport management system.
Plan routes, send instructions to the driver's tablet, and track the ETA of each stage of the journey.
