Tachograph module
Tachograph and drivers’ hours compliance
Upload driver and vehicle tachograph data, monitor download periods, and review infringements for managerial oversight. Complete includes full tachograph analysis; Core and Compliance can add it as an option. Use the free Windows Upload Utility to send .ddd files from a watched folder, USB, or manual pick — no FleetPro user signed in on the PC.
What you can manage
- Driver card and vehicle unit uploads
- Windows Upload Utility for automatic or manual .ddd upload
- Download period monitoring on calendars
- Drivers’ hours and Working Time Directive analysis on Complete
- Infringement reporting and acknowledgement
Driver and vehicle unit data in one place
Bring tachograph files into FleetPro UK so identity linking, download calendars and infringement review sit next to the same drivers and vehicles you already manage for checks and maintenance.
Windows Upload Utility for .ddd files
Download the FleetPro Upload Utility for Windows from the download page, install it, then authorise the PC from Account → Upload devices. Point it at your Digidown or card-download folder (or USB) for automatic uploads, or choose files manually. Files use the same import pipeline as web uploads.
Hours, WTD and infringement reporting
Monitor driving, working, break and rest context for managerial review, with infringement reporting and driver acknowledgement workflows where your package includes them.
Connected to the wider compliance record
Tachograph is not a silo. It sits alongside licence checks, walkarounds, defects and documents so transport managers have one operational picture.
Frequently asked questions
Is tachograph analysis included in every package?
Full tachograph analysis is included in FleetPro Complete. On Core and Compliance it is available as an add-on per active driver.
Where do I download the Upload Utility?
Use the Download Upload Utility button on this page, or open the public download page. Install on Windows, open the utility for an activation code, then authorise the PC in FleetPro under Account → Upload devices.
Can drivers see a hours snapshot?
Yes. The driver app can show a recent snapshot of driving, working, break and rest time so drivers stay aware of their compliance position.
