Tachograph time zones

Could never figure why tacho time zones advance by half hour intervals as I always thought time zones always jump by one hour eg england to western Europe one hour,Western Europe to Eastern Europe one hour etc

Apparently in China time zones advance by half an hour and for the graph to be “universal” they had to include the Chinese time zones.

Just a point of intrest.

Wrong about China but Iran and India are on the half hour and Nepal are 3/4 hour for some reason, see here…worldtimezone.com/
