A complete kit for downloading and processing digital tachograph data has been launched by Novadata. The Chipdrive Driver Card solution is said to provide everything required to help transport operators meet the requirements of digital tachograph legislation – specifically to download, view and store the drivers' card activity data for their fleet. It is priced at £245.

There's also a lower-cost version, priced at £95, which is aimed at drivers. This includes the card reader application plus a card reader, enabling drivers to download their driving record on to a laptop computer for transfer to a memory card or for copying and transmitting in other ways.

The full suite includes a Chipdrive Manager solution, which provides additional functionality for analysing driving, availability for work and rest times, and incorporates tools for highlighting faults and events, as well as compliance, reporting infringements, and driver's information and correspondence.

The products are built in Germany by SCM Microsystems.
