And find the right one for your company.

Two-part photomontage of a truck in front of a loading ramp, which merges into the computer screen of a fleet manager who is happily working on her tasks - for example with software developed by VDO.

Comply with European and national regulations, avoid violations, plan your tasks, and coordinate vehicles and drivers – VDO Fleet helps you save time while carrying out your fleet manager’s daily tasks and routines safely.

Two-part composition: On the left-hand side you can see the hands of a fleet manager holding a tablet with a route displayed on the screen. The route extends out of the screen into the photo on the right, which shows a bird's eye view of a truck driving on a highway interchange above a green landscape.

VDO Fleet Tachograph Live Services offers you almost real-time access to your fleet. For example, VDO Fleet Motion shows you where your vehicles are and where they’re headed. You can react faster, reduce waiting times, and coordinate route changes better.

Two-part composition: The hood of a truck is shown on the right-hand side, its bright light shining. The left-hand side of the image continues the pattern of the hood in the form of blue cables.

Our smart interfaces are ideal for mixed fleets that don't use uniform software and those that previously worked with different software: With VDO Fleet Connect and VDO Fleet Extract, existing databases from third-party systems can be easily imported, processed and exported for all VDO Fleet Services.

Two-part composition from a bird's eye view: On the left-hand side, you can see white trucks parked next to each other, slightly offset. The left half of the picture shows the technology installed in the trucks such as vents etc.

Driver and vehicle data are automatically transmitted to your fleet management – at the times you specify and from all European countries. Just set your individual times and the data will send itself: No more separate schedules and no more manual downloading of data.

The Tachograph driver app on your drivers’ smartphones has a lot of important information for them, such as their remaining driving times and rest periods. Manual entries can also be easily added to the tachograph using a smartphone.

The perfect digital assistant: The VDO WorkshopTab2

Discover the advantages of the VDO WorkshopTab2.

For more efficiency in your everyday work.

The testing and calibration of smart VDO tachographs can be carried out at the vehicle with the VDO WorkshopTab2 – with immediate online processing of the data.

The DTCO® 4.0 smart tachograph also uses the GNSS global navigation satellite system. A GNSS test is compulsory to specify the exact vehicle position at any time. You can also carry out this test easily using the WorkshopTab.

Intuitive sequences guide you reliably through all the functions, step-by-step. The software does all the paperwork in the background. The relevant documents are transferred from the vehicle to the printer at the push of a button.

The new EU regulation requires mandatory map updates to be installed on the DTCO 4.1 on a regular basis, which must be carried out at the latest during the next upcoming periodic tachograph inspection.

The WorkshopTab is equipped with the corresponding software and the WorkshopTab DTCO update cable is required for this purpose.

Update cable

With the introduction of the 2nd version of the smart tachograph, map updates for the purpose of updating geodata will be mandatory in the future.

Corresponding updates can be performed on the tachograph with the VDO WorkshopTab via the VDO WorkshopTab DTCO update cable. The update cable should therefore be part of the basic equipment of every tachograph workshop.

VDO Label Printer

The VDO Label Printer prints the installation label for the tachograph on a label provided for this purpose directly and uncomplicated. The annoying and sometimes tedious removal of the old label and the sealing foil are no longer necessary. The marking on the high-quality thermal transfer print lasts for at least two years, i.e. until the next inspection. The installation label can be adapted to the label to be printed, which makes the VDO Label Printer flexible and future-proof, e.g. in terms of possible QR code solutions.
