"At a time when millions of Europeans are about to take to the roads for their holidays, we should be providing concrete answers to the question of road safety. The in-depth revision of legislation on the tachograph, a mandatory control device installed in trucks, is part of that. Indeed, drivers’ non-compliance with labour legislation, often under pressure from employers, is a practice which, unfortunately, is too widespread in Europe: stress and fatigue among drivers are responsible for around 20% of road accidents. This new version of the tachograph will apply to heavy goods vehicles of 2.8 tonnes or more (and no longer 3.5 tonnes or more), and to vehicles transporting nine persons or more. We have also paved the way for electronic use of the device, replacing manual use, which heralds the introduction of the ‘smart tachograph’ by 2020, which should enable road transport undertakings to save the equivalent of EUR 515 million in administrative costs per year, as well as prevent fraud."@en1
