TachoSafe (Desktop) Lite

The Free Desktop Application

TachoSafe Lite is a free Windows application that comes together with every TachoSafe download device. Extremely simple and easy to use, designed for small transport companies, individual drivers and anyone who needs to process tachograph downloads without committing to a subscription. TachoSafe Lite gives you free basic file processing.

What is TachoSafe LITE?

TachoSafe Lite is included with every TachoSafe download device at no extra cost. Download it directly from the device or from our website, register once, and start producing infringement and work-hours reports the same day.

Get started in minutes — free, forever
• Free with any TachoSafe device — no subscription
• Windows desktop install, no IT setup required
• User manual and support included via Freshdesk

When would I outgrow Lite?
Lite is perfect for one PC and a manageable number of drivers. If you start needing multi-driver reports, work hours by country, card-expiration alerts or authority ready exports, that’s the moment to look at TachoSafe Desktop Pro — same desktop app, plus the management toolkit, without forcing you onto a subscription or into the cloud.

 

 

 

Built for individual drivers and small fleets

✓ Individual drivers — verify your own work-hours and infringements at home, with nothing to install on a company server.

✓ Small transport companies — keep tachograph compliance in-house, on one PC, without paying a monthly subscription.

✓ Owner-operators — run a tight ship with just the tools you need: file processing, infringements, work hours, printable reports.

✓ Resellers’ demo & training scenarios — a zero-friction way to show customers what a TachoSafe download looks like.

✓ Anyone with legacy .ddd files — import and analyse historical downloads from other devices or GPRS fleet systems.

 

All file generations


Processes G1, G2 and G2V2 vehicle and driver-card files — every common extension (.ddd, .tgd, .v1b/c, .c1b/c, .a1b, .dtc/g, .esm, .zip).

 

Core infringement analysis

Detects driving-hour offences against EU rules (AETR & 561/2006). Get a clear report of where each driver exceeded limits and by how much.

Auto-import from device


Plug your Tacho2Safe DownloadTOOL into a USB port and Lite pulls files automatically. No setup, no scripts, no manual file moves.

 

 

 

 

Events & faults viewer


Inspect tachograph events and faults alongside detailed speed analysis. Useful both for fleet review and for technical investigations.

 

Driver activity reports


Activity graphs, work-hours summaries, daily activity details and printable reports — for any registered driver and any date range.

 

No internet required
Once imported, all data and reports stay accessible — even with the download key removed and the PC offline. Perfect for depots and workshops.

 

Lite ships with every download device in the range

TachoSafe Connect → Lite & WEB Basic

Manual download device with SIM card.
Files arrive in WEB Pro automatically.
Includes 8 GB local memory as fallback.

Tacho5Safe+ → Lite & WEB Basic

Bundled with both TachoSafe Lite on the desktop and
WEB Basic in the cloud — pick the workflow that suits
you.

 

Tacho2Safe → Lite

The classic manual download device. The TachoSafe Lite installer is on the device itself — plug in via USB, install, and you’re ready to download and analyse.

Ready to grow into PRO?

When the fleet outgrows Lite, the upgrade path is
straightforward: a PRO-enabled TachoSafe device
automatically activates Desktop PRO — same familiar
interface, plus multi-driver reports, alerts and authorityready
exports.
