Enforcement of social rules in road transport: smart digital tachographs on EU

As of 15 June this year, trucks and buses registered in the EU for the first time must have a smart digital tachograph installed. The tachograph is the tool installed in trucks and buses, which records the activities of drivers. Its new features will improve greatly the enforcement of the EU rules on driving and resting times, which truck and bus drivers must respect -in line with the efforts by the Commission with the "Europe on the Move" packages- for a socially fair transition towards clean energy and digitalisation. The smart digital tachograph offers technologically advanced and user-friendly functionalities compared to the digital tachograph which is currently in use.

0.9 minutes

Despite the current problems with delay, the targets for capacity must remain ambitious. In 2018, the average delay per flight was 1.83 minutes. The target is to move towards 0.9 minutes in the next years. Reaching the target would significantly reduce delays for passengers and support the increasing demand for traffic.
