United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) April 10, 2008 --
Digital tachographs became mandatory on all qualifying vehicles during 2006 and vehicle manufacturers have since been delivering tachograph equipped vehicles to their customers. This implies a fundamental change in the way vehicle operators manage their business and presents operators with a technological revolution in the vehicle cab. These changes require transport managers to plan ahead to ensure that when the first digital tachograph equipped vehicle is delivered, drivers, traffic office staff and transport managers are prepared.
