With smart tachograph regulations and increasing roadside compliance checks, keeping drivers compliant and vehicles moving has never been more critical. RT Keedwell’s Carlisle workshop now offers full [smart, digital, analogue] tachograph services, with the backing of its respected workshop team. The new service is part of the Keedwell Group’s commitment to keeping the UK’s transport and logistics network on the move whilst prioritising customer and driver safety.
Alongside their role in prevention of driver fatigue and improving driving behaviours, smart tachographs provide behavioural data and real time GNSS mapping. Data is increasingly used to promote efficient driving techniques and to deliver against broader industry sustainability targets through route optimising technologies.
By combining compliance with real-time behavioural and GNSS data, the Carlisle Tacho Lane not only enhances safety standards but also supports fuel efficiency, route optimisation and measurable reductions in fleet emissions, reinforcing Keedwell Konnect’s commitment to more sustainable logistics. Dan Carter, Operations Director at Keedwell Konnect, the logistics arm of the Keedwell Group, added:
“Our focus as the logistics hub for the Group, managing tens of thousands of loads a year, is to prioritise the well being of our drivers and the confidence with which our blue chip customers can partner with us.
The new Tacho Lane is part of our ongoing investment not just in drivers and fleet but building a reputation for market leading environmental performance built on real time data and expert insight.”
