How does the device work?

For the device to work, tachograph cards are required. There are two main types: for the driver and the company. Cards are also available for tachographs with SKZI blocks and without SKZI. The first option is available only for transportation in Russia. If the tachograph was installed on the vehicle after 2015, then it is necessary to make a cryptographic information protection card for it. For the card to work correctly, a chip is mounted in it, from which information is read by the electronic module.

The “black box" for the car is installed on the following modes of transport:

  • Buses for passengers with a capacity of more than eight seats;
  • Trucks heavier than 3.5 tons.
