Company Card Authentication Mode

In Company Card Mode, the TachoSafe Station acts as a secure authentication device for remote tachograph downloads performed through the TachoSafe RDU system. The company card remains inserted in the Station at the operator’s premises while the device automatically authorizes remote downloads from connected vehicles.
This eliminates the need to:
  • ship company cards to third parties
  • use PC-based USB card readers
  • manually visit vehicles for tachograph downloads
Once the company card is inserted:
  • the Station connects securely to the cloud
  • remote authentication requests are handled automatically
  • the card remains safely on-site at all times
