The so-called OSMNA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) will also automatically record the vehicle position when crossing the border. This improves the documentation of cabotage journeys and driver dispatches and makes manipulation more difficult.<\/p><p>However, the new function will probably not be available by the deadline of 21 August 2023, but will be introduced via an update, the date of which is not yet known. <strong>Initially, the country entry on the tachograph must still be done manually! <\/strong>The entry of the location at the beginning and end of a working day remains unaffected and must still be entered by the driver (supported by a current position suggestion from the tachograph).<\/p><h5 id=\"anchor-2\">ITS interface with Bluetooth communication<\/h5><p>Already known from the predecessor model is the standardised ITS interface (Intelligent Transportation System). This is no longer optional, but mandatory. Via the interface, it is now possible to securely transmit a variety of individual data from the tachograph to third-party telematics systems, for example. This includes position data, activity and driving time data or vehicle data such as brake pedal use.<\/p><p>The Gen2V2 tachograph now also communicates via Bluetooth, so that it should be possible to read out data via apps, for example, without a download key. However, this function will probably only be available in the course of 2024. DAKO is in the process of developing an app that is capable of reading out the tachograph and driver card via Bluetooth in order to make the function directly available after the manufacturer updates the Smart Tacho version 2.<\/p><h5 id=\"anchor-3\">Expansion of recorded data \u2013 activity data driver card, type of cargo, position loading and unloading operations<\/h5><p>The new devices can record more data than before. On the one hand, this concerns the activity recordings of the driver card &#8211; the temporal scope of the recording increases here from 28 to 56 days (reason: extension of the control period). The use of this function requires the change to new driver cards with increased memory capacity. However, a compulsory exchange of driver cards is not planned, already existing driver cards and company cards remain valid and also function in the Smart Tachos version 2.<\/p><h6>The new driver cards G2V2 will also store in future:<\/h6><ul><li>Recording of border crossing<\/li><li>Position documentation during loading and unloading<\/li><li>Configuration settings of the tachograph<\/li><li>Extended calibration data (country and time stamp)<\/li><\/ul><p>New driver and company cards will be issued from August 2023, which are also backwards compatible with older tachograph models. New workshop cards will be available from July 2023.<\/p><p>In addition, the new tachographs also record the type of cargo (goods\/people).<\/p><p><strong>Attention: Drivers must now enter the location manually during loading and unloading operations!<\/strong> The tacho and driver card store the entered position and time.<\/p><h5 id=\"anchor-4\">DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) now also transmits driving times<\/h5><p>The current system of remote data retrieval has been optimised. This is intended to facilitate checks and enable a pre-selection of conspicuous vehicles. In future, more data can be transmitted, such as driving times. In detail these are:<\/p><ul><li>the time stamp for the last authenticated position<\/li><li>the uninterrupted driving time of the driver<\/li><li>the longest cumulated driving time of the driver for the current and previous working day<\/li><li>the driver&#8217;s longest accumulated driving time for the current working day or for each completed working day started or finished in the current week<\/li><li>the driver&#8217;s accumulated driving time for the current week<\/li><li>cumulative driving time of the driver for a two-week period<\/li><\/ul><p>When inserting the driver card for the first time, drivers still have to decide whether they give their consent to the transfer of personal data. This only concerns the transmission to third party systems, authorities are legally allowed to read this data. <strong>However, a remote control without stopping the vehicle is still not possible,<\/strong> this is only about efficiency and pre-selection for controls.

It is therefore quite possible that version 2 smart tachographs will already be installed in new vehicles before the deadline. Definitely, transport companies will have to expect them in newly registered vehicles from 21 August 2023.<\/p><h4>How can you prepare for the smart tachograph version 2?<\/h4><p>As an entrepreneur with a fleet of vehicles or as a self-driving entrepreneur in the commercial sector, you must ensure that you comply with your legal obligations at all times. That is why it is enormously important to find out about the new devices now and, above all, to check the readout hardware. Providers of download keys and other readout hardware and software should be able to provide information on when an update for the devices will be available. There is no question that an update is necessary. DAKO&#8217;s readout range is prepared for the new Smart Tachos V2, the DAKO TachoKEY is Smart Tacho V2-ready.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e373f34 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-cta--layout-image-left elementor-cta--mobile-layout-image-above elementor-cta--skin-classic elementor-animated-content elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"e373f34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dako.de\/kontakt\/neukundenvertrieb\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tContact &amp; Support\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What can you do if the download key in the Smart Tacho Version 2 no longer works? <\/p>\n<p>We offer solutions for reading out Smart Tachographs version 2.
