DAF deploys Microlise remote digital tacho download system

Telematics
DAF Trucks has upgraded its telematics offering with a remote digital tachograph download facility, designed in partnership with Microlise.

The remote download offering means tacho data can now be accessed while vehicles are out on the road. Download frequency can be set in advance, and no additional action is needed by the driver.

In addition to tacho-card data, DAF’s Remote Digital Tachograph Download can also simultaneously obtain a range of vehicle data directly from the tacho-head unit, such as events, faults, technical calibration and detailed speed data.

Waterside Logistics is using the new system and, says director Richard Carter, it is easy to use and involves minimal fuss: “We don’t have to chase our drivers – an often time-consuming exercise. We receive remote downloads from every vehicle on a weekly basis and upload it with 100% accuracy to the RHA analysis office.”

DAF Telematics is supplied as standard on all new DAF vehicles acquired with a MultiSupport R&M package.
