Remote download kits for digital tachographs. DLD® is the comfortable solution for transferring mass memory and driver card data by wireless. The download process is controlled from the office computer, which means that the company card can stay in the office. Driver and vehicle data can then be downloaded in compliance with the legal deadlines for downloading and transferred directly to the TIS archive. At no time does a company card have to be inserted in the digital tachograph.
Road Speed Limiter:Complete systems and repairs to existing systems
Goods vehicles and Passenger Carrying Vehicles falling within certain categories must be fitted with a road speed limiter. The requirments can be found on the DfT Website by following this link.
We are often asked what the speed limit is for vehicles in general and to avoid any doubt the following is an extract from the Highway Code. However, where a vehicle falls into the requirments for Road Speed Limiter fitment then the lower maximum speed will apply.
[Law CUR regs 98 & 107]
