Tachograph Download
Access your tachograph data when you need it – and add analysis when you want deeper insight.
Remote tachograph download allows transport companies to retrieve driver card and vehicle tachograph files without physically accessing the vehicle. With EcoMobility, the files are available through WinFleet and can optionally be analysed with Idha for infringements and compliance issues.
Keep your tachograph files organised
With EcoMobility, you can remotely download tachograph data from vehicles and driver cards and keep it together with the rest of your fleet information. When you need more than the raw files, the data can also be analysed through our integration with Idha, giving you a clearer overview of driving and rest time, infringements and compliance.
The result is a simpler workflow: access the data you need, identify potential issues and reduce the time spent handling tachograph information manually.
What is tachograph download?
Tachograph download is the process of retrieving data stored on the vehicle tachograph and driver cards.
The files contain information such as:
- Driving time
- Rest periods
- Other work
- Availability
- Driver activity
- Vehicle activity
These files must be downloaded and stored at the required intervals so your company can document compliance with tachograph and driving-time regulations.
EcoMobility gives you a central place to access and manage this data alongside your other fleet information.

FAQ about tachograph download
What is a tachograph download?
A tachograph download retrieves data stored in a digital or smart tachograph or on a driver card. The downloaded files contain records of driving, rest and other driver activities and are used for documentation and compliance.
Can tachograph files be downloaded remotely?
Yes. With a compatible vehicle setup, tachograph files can be downloaded remotely, so you do not need physical access to the vehicle each time data is retrieved.
Is tachograph download the same as tachograph analysis?
No. A tachograph download gives you the underlying tachograph files. Tachograph analysis examines the information in those files to identify driving and rest time infringements, missing activities and other potential compliance issues.
With EcoMobility, tachograph data can be downloaded through WinFleet and analysed through Idha.
Do I need tachograph analysis as well as download?
Not necessarily. Tachograph download gives you access to the required files. Analysis is useful if you also want help identifying infringements, missing activities and potential compliance issues.
Can EcoMobility analyse tachograph data?
Yes. EcoMobility offers tachograph analysis through Idha. This provides a more detailed view of driver activities, infringements and compliance than the tachograph download files alone.
What information is included in tachograph data?
Tachograph data can include driving time, breaks, rest periods, other work, availability, vehicle activity and driver activity.
What is the difference between driver card data and vehicle tachograph data?
Driver card data contains information linked to the individual driver, such as driving time, breaks, rest periods and other recorded activities. Vehicle tachograph data contains information stored in the tachograph unit itself, including vehicle activity, speed, distance and events related to the tachograph. Both types of data are important for documenting compliance with driving and rest time rules.
Can tachograph data help prevent infringements?
Tachograph data itself shows what has already happened. When the data is analysed, however, it becomes easier to identify recurring infringements, unusual patterns or areas where drivers may need additional guidance.
Can tachograph data be downloaded while the vehicle is on the road?
Yes. With a compatible remote tachograph download setup, data can be retrieved without the vehicle returning to the depot. This makes it easier to keep downloads up to date and reduces the need for manual access to the vehicle.
