What is that ?
From June 15, 2019, new European regulations require newly registered passenger and goods transport vehicles to be equipped with smart tachographs. New driver cards are also being put into circulation.
Am I affected by Annex 1C?
If I register a new vehicle for the transport of goods over 3.5T or people with more than 9 seats from 15/06/2019: I am concerned.
If one of my employees uses a driver card issued from 15/06/2019: I am concerned.
What does it change ?
The smart tachograph can no longer be read by my current collection equipment. I cannot collect and archive data from new tachographs and new driver cards. I need to exchange or update my collection materials. I need to update my archiving software.

Christophe Mathieu, Continental VDO 2018 product managerThe main changes that will appear on the new card are:
- Black and white picture
- G2 mention appear below on the recto
- 8 mention – address is new at the recto and description on the verso
The material of the card is modified, as well as the picture at the background more secured. Then the chip is also modified for more security.
With your present equipment, you can only collect C1B files, with the old legal form. You don’t respond to the new regulations. To download the new format, you can inquire us if it is possible to do an update or if you have to replace your equipment if it is too old.
The validity period is the same as the present, so 5 years.

We are informing you of the latest progress relating to this new regulation.
Indeed, many points are still under negotiation and will give rise to future updates of the European regulations and its appendix 1C.
Last minute !
New French driver cards were manufactured by CHRONOSERVICES from June 5, 2019 and will be distributed during the week of June 10, 2019.
2020
French and Germany don’t agree with the 15-year deadline to renewing all tachographs. The subject is still under discussion even if this deadline appears in the new regulation.
2020
CMR (roadmap) where is the shipment, should be dematerialized (ICMR). It will make it possible to know at a distance what the shipment is, and therefore to trigger or not appropriate intervention measures.
2020
Since March 31, 2018, the eCall system has been installed in all new light vehicle’s (LV). Thanks to a shock detector (accelerometer, hardened system, …) it allows automatic calling of the platform 112. The 112 can intervene directly from the sensor. This system should be extended to heavy weight vehicles. This widening will be mentioned in the law on mobility which is being studied.
2021
The trailer should be "canise". This allow the weight to be returned to the axle via the tachograph. This should result in a third version of Annex 1C.
2021
Border crossing: this point had been removed by the eastern countries in 2016. But the French and Germans asked to put back this border crossing alert.Technical problem because the alert should be entered in the legal file V1C, in the same way as driving without a card. But frequent border crossings will weight down this V1C file. It may be compressed to overcome the size problem.
2024-2025
The border crossing alert, scheduled for 2021, should allow to know in which country a posted worker is located. With the possibility of making a pay slip with working time in France for example (Position Of Workers).
Let's talk about that
- Official CO2 declaration to come with a debits / credits system. It will allow a harmonization of the algorithm and put an "official" physical sensor in place of the only current software calculation. The news would come back through the tachograph.
- Germany is testing the descent of the equipment obligation threshold in tachograph to 2.8T instead of 3.5T. France should then test.
- With the new DSRC system, the tachograph could be used for the ecotax.
