Tacho Module
Manage driving and rest periods effectively and paperlessly with NEXTdriver tachograph coaching
Avoid penalty points and fines and improve driving and rest period compliance with our integrated tacho solution.
Reduce your violations by more than 50% and gain insight into who has additional training needs with tachograph operation. Also, our solution ensures that drivers acknowledge infringements and learn to use the tachograph correctly.
Thus, we reduce structural errors and make the process easier for the driver.
Effortless compliance and time savings
Does it also take you so much time to create lists with the analysed tachograph data and then also receive them signed back from your drivers?
NEXTdriver users now receive the insight into tachograph violations with our Tacho Module and confirm awareness of them.
Confirming a violation by a driver is quick, simple and traceable with our digital solution. This way, you support drivers to paperlessly comply with driving and rest times and are always prepared for an inspection of your data.
Chat functionality
With the chat functionality within NEXTdriver, coach and driver can discuss together what went wrong. The coach can give the driver advice and improvement tips and make arrangements to avoid this in the future.
Prevent fines & penalty points
This allows you to demonstrate that you are actively working to prevent errors in driving and rest times, reduce the risk of fines and save time. All in one environment for the driver and the coach and at your convenience.

There have been quite a few changes around the tachograph recently.
For instance, the new smart tacho 2.0 allows enforcers (ILT/ECR) to read data remotely from the truck and, based on this, determine whether to take truck off the road for further inspection.
The ILT is also deploying digital company checks and administrative supervision. In addition, fines have been increased for violations of the Driving and Rest Hours Act and ERRU penalty points are being handed out. This can result in the fleet manager being suspended or the transport company even losing its NIWO transport licence.
This has already happened to the first transport company that this has happened to, because it had committed too many violations where the company did not show enough to make improvements after the inspections. (https://www.tln.nl/actueel/erru-eerste-vervoersvergunning-ingetrokken)
To prevent this, it is crucial that you, as a company, show that you are trying to minimise driving time and rest period law violations.
There are various tacho analysis tools available to map violations for each driver, but in addition, you need to show that you personally inform drivers about this and help them improve in this.
This is why NEXTdriver offers a solution where drivers receive a monthly overview of all the tachograph violations committed in their personal app, which the driver must also sign off on to indicate that he/she has taken note of them. In addition, NEXTdriver offers personal coaching to help drivers improve and reduce the number of offences.
By demonstrating that drivers receive support in this area, you ensure that the ILT is much less likely to issue fines, let alone take other drastic measures such as suspending the fleet manager or advising the NIWO to revoke the transport licence.
Compared to already existing tachograph systems, we are unique by:
✅ The paperless confirmation and signing of violations by the driver
✅ Our experienced coaches help drivers reduce and avoid ERRU penalty points
✅ Easy contact with drivers via chat
✅ Coaches can give immediate advice and schedule improvement appointments
✅ Time savings compared to existing platforms
No at the moment there is no separate app and it is integrated with NEXTdriver’s driving behaviour coaching. A low-threshold start could be to share driving behaviour insights and provide your own coaching through the NEXTdriver Toolbox.
