Q.Can the DVSA and other enforcement bodies download a Generation 2 ‘smart’ tachograph remotely?

A.In short, the answer is no. Roadside inspection authorities will be able to “blip” a tachograph as a vehicle drives by using a specially designed receiver but will not be able to carry out a full download of the VU. The “blip” will provide a packet of data containing 10 key items of information which will be used to determine whether a vehicle needs further inspection. If the vehicle comes up as “red”, the vehicle will be pulled over further down the road.
