Tachograph replacement according to the tachograph regulation
The European tachograph regulation sets out a timeline for when older analog and digital tachographs must be replaced.
All newly registered heavy vehicles must have a G2V2 tachograph installed after
August 21, 2023. This is a smart tachograph, generation 2, version 2, also known as an intelligent tachograph.
The same applies to vehicles such as vans that have never had a tachograph installed - they must also have a G2Vs tachograph installed.
If driving internationally, analog tachographs (disc cars, chart plotters) and digital tachographs (which are not smart tachographs) must be changed to G2V2 tachographs by
December 31, 2024.
The digital tachographs are installed in vehicles from before June 15, 2019.
If you drive internationally after
August 19, 2025, all tachographs from before August 21, 2023, i.e. all tachographs other than G2V2 intelligent tachographs, must be replaced.
In 2026, vans up to 2000 kg will also be subject to the driving & resting time rules if they drive internationally. Therefore, all vans crossing the Danish border must be equipped with a G2V2 tachograph by
July 1,2026
If you are not driving internationally, you can continue to drive with the tachograph that the vehicle is equipped with.
