General

The digital tachograph EFAS-4.0 (hereinafter abbreviated as EFAS) logs the work periods, driving times,
rest periods and availability periods of the driver and co-driver. Furthermore, EFAS logs automatically the
speed and distance covered by the vehicle. The protocols logged by the digital tachograph serve as
proof for controlling bodies (e.g. police). The digital tachograph EFAS complies with the technical specifi-
cations set out in the Commission regulation (EC) No. 1360/2002 of 13 July 2002, the 7th adaptation of
Council regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85 to the technical progress of Recording Equipment in Road Trans-
port and with Commission regulation (EC) No. 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009.
This user guide is for all EFAS users (drivers, workshop staff, company representatives, controlling staff).
The user guide describes the proper use of the digital tachograph EFAS as set out in the regulation.
Read the corresponding sections thoroughly and familiarise yourself with the operation of the digital
tachograph EFAS.
