And if we turn to our Russian legislation, it turns out that in accordance with one of the orders from the Ministry of Transport, it is necessary to install the device, but there are certain exceptions. It is designed to record the time spent by the driver on driving the car, as well as others manipulation.Therefore, you should first familiarize yourself with all its nuances and installation rules.

Purpose and types of device

The tachograph can be compared to the “black box” on an airplane in terms of its operating principles. The main function is to register the machine’s movement parameters and store this information in memory. Employees and management can then view the history. In general, the device is used to monitor compliance with the work regime and rest of subordinates. What modern tachographs do:

record the vehicle's mileage and its speed;
mark the time of driving, breaks and other work performed by the driver;
register all data, encrypt it and save it in a form protected from editing.

The last option that the device performs is especially important.
The information he recorded is as reliable as possible and cannot be changed. It can be used as evidence in resolving controversial issues. The data recorded by the device is accepted in court. There are 2 main types of devices: analog and digital tachograph. The first version of the control device is more practical; it is installed on ZIL more often. Information is recorded thanks to a cryptographic module with increased data storage capacity, a global positioning system.

Fines for not having a tachograph

For the absence of a tachograph, from April 1, 2014, a fine will be charged not only for international, but also for domestic Russian transportation. The punishment is equivalent to fines for a faulty, disabled or independently modified tachograph and in accordance with Art. 11.23 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses is:

1000-3000 rubles - for drivers (as well as for non-compliance with the temporary work and rest regime);
5,000-10,000 rubles - for officials who released a vehicle (vehicle) with a violation onto the line.

Operating principles of the device

The main tachograph unit is located in the cab of the car so that the driver has access to the external control panel. Modern models have screens that display basic information about system operation. When the engine is turned off, due to the powerful battery, the device operates in autonomous mode. It also contains a volatile memory module, therefore, the recorded information is saved 100%. To transmit information about the movement of the car, a speed sensor is connected to the device using standard sockets.

To start using the device, you need to install a personal driver card - a key card. Only then will information be correctly recorded and stored in memory. The cards contain special chips with a limited service life. Periodically, they require reissue. Driver cards are personalized, that is, they are made in the name of the person who will drive the car. The main task is to identify the person who drove the freight transport in a certain period of time.

What does the law say about the tachograph on ZIL?

Documents adopted by the legislation of the Russian Federation strictly control freight transport with devices for recording traffic parameters. This is necessary to prevent the exploitation of state-owned dump trucks by employees for personal purposes, conflicts between superiors and subordinates, and illegal activities of private owners.

So, is a tachograph required for a ZIL according to the law, and what main documents confirm this:

Customs Union Regulation 018/2011, which includes criteria for the design of cargo vehicles;
Federal Law No. 196 of July 26, 2017 “On Road Traffic Safety”, obliging car owners to equip them with monitoring devices;
Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation No. 237 dated 08/21/13, which states what specific devices are equipped with vehicles operating on commercial flights.

The above standards apply to trucks weighing 3,500 kg and above. The weight of all types of dump trucks exceeds this mark; accordingly, the law applies to them.

Is it necessary to install a tachograph on a personal ZIL?

Most truck owners believe that they do not have to equip their vehicle with a monitoring device, since they do not work for a company and conduct private business. But, due to changes in legislation, this judgment is now erroneous. Whether a tachograph on a ZIL 130 is needed or not previously depended on the purpose of its operation by the driver. This is the most popular type of truck, which is used in construction work, commercial and passenger transportation. Today, the answer is unequivocal - yes. Until November 1, 2019, it was necessary to install monitoring devices only for cars operated by legal entities. This meant that private owners were exempt. But, from November 1, 2021, a new clause has been added to the Law “On Road Traffic Safety”.

From November 1, 2021, the device must be installed on private trucks of category C. This rule also applies to private buses of category D. If the tachograph on the ZIL 130 has not been installed, that is, the driver carries out business activities without state registration, he faces a fine of 500 to 2000 rubles.

Which vehicles require tachographs and which do not?

Tachographs are installed on passenger buses designed to transport more than eight people, as well as trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons.

Control equipment is not installed on:

Trolleybuses;
Buses for urban and suburban transportation;
Cars for international transport with international tachographs installed;
Paramilitary transport;
Cars involved in operational-search activities (police cars belonging to the Federal Penitentiary Service, FSB, etc.);
Transport used by state technical supervision;
Old cars with a service life of more than 30 years, not used in commercial transportation;
Transport with old-style tachographs;
Training vehicles not used in commercial transportation;
Vehicles taking part in road tests.

Tachographs are also not installed on a number of vehicles performing a certain type of work. These include truck-mounted concrete pumps, truck-mounted concrete mixers, truck-mounted cranes, truck-mounted asphalt distributors and many other specialized vehicles. This list also includes fire trucks, tow trucks, ambulances, cash-in-transit vehicles, auto shops, vehicles for funeral services, mobile laboratories, television studios, and workshops.

Tachographs are not installed on armored vehicles, caravans, medical complexes on chassis, lifts with working platforms, special vehicles used in oil and gas wells, road services and utilities. This category also includes specially equipped vehicles for transporting milk, fish, poultry, eggs, livestock, as well as category C trucks for transporting agricultural products within the boundaries of the municipal district and adjacent territories.

Advantages of the device

Of course, based on new changes in legislation, installation of a tachograph is mandatory for everyone. But, you should not perceive this as an unnecessary burden. If you equip your car with the device, it will give a lot of advantages.

So, what are the advantages of installing a control device on ZIL:

you can transport cargo and passengers throughout Russia and the countries of the European Union;
additionally, the safety of vehicle movement on the road is guaranteed - any speeding or overtime is recorded, this will not allow the employee to evade his tasks;
the vehicle's payback increases, since the tachograph includes unauthorized trips, deviations from the route, which makes it possible to control mileage and working time on the road;
allows you to calculate the most optimal route.

According to reviews from entrepreneurs, after installing the device, the productivity of employees increases due to strict control of their activities during working hours.

Features of using the device

After the tachograph is installed, you should familiarize yourself with the nuances of operation. These include:

after installation, receive a license from the Federal Security Service;
every 3 years the device must be calibrated, and if it was purchased with CIPF, the unit is replaced or activated once every 3 years;
When a vehicle is leased or sold, the control device must be dismantled and the device must be disposed of.

The driver's card also changes every three years.

Cost of installing a tachograph on a truck

When choosing a workshop where the device will be installed on the car, you need to pay attention to the availability of permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If the company cannot provide such a document, then you should contact another service that has a license to install and calibrate the device.

Approximate service prices:

Pay for what	Price
Equipment	New from 25,000 rubles
Equipment	On the secondary market from 10,000 rubles
Installation	From 8,000 to 10,000 rubles

How to install a tachograph

To equip a vehicle with a device, contact a service center. The company must have the appropriate permits. These organizations are registered with Rosavtotrans and are issued licenses to work with cryptographic equipment. You will not be able to carry out the installation procedure yourself.

The installation process for the device is as follows:

when ZIL is being prepared for installation, specialists select a place to install the tachograph in such a way that the driver can carry out manipulations without being distracted from driving; this requires the installation of special brackets or the laying of routes to connect the system;
the device is unpacked, connected to the on-board network, speed sensor, connections are isolated;
The tachograph together with the cryptographic module is activated, after which the device is calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the collected data.

At the end of the installation process, the instrument housing is sealed. Manipulation is needed to protect the system from interference, attempts to edit information, or malicious damage. When the device is packaged in a sealed case, it is placed in the slot and secured.

A tachograph is a useful device both for superiors to monitor the work of subordinates, and for private entrepreneurs involved in passenger or cargo transportation.

[~DETAIL_TEXT] =>

Many motorists are interested in whether a ZIL dump truck needs a tachograph. And if we turn to our Russian legislation, it turns out that in accordance with one of the orders from the Ministry of Transport, it is necessary to install the device, but there are certain exceptions. It is designed to record the time spent by the driver driving the car, as well as other manipulations. Therefore, you should first familiarize yourself with all its nuances and installation rules.

Penalties

According to the law, a fine for not having a tachograph is a kind of compensation for damage caused to the road surface.

Penalties are levied not only for international transportation, but also for domestic transportation. There will be a similar fine for a device that is faulty or turned off. A fine is imposed in accordance with Article 11.23 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

Penalty for not having a tachograph under the law:

1-3 thousand rubles for the driver himself;
5-10 thousand rubles for an official citizen.

The device has failed

There is a situation when the device fails when the driver has already entered the line. In this case, the seal is in the same place. The breakdown appears to have occurred independently. In this case, the driver undertakes to return to the garage to repair the device.

If the car is still operated with a non-working device, this will entail a penalty. Operation is not permitted if the tachograph is faulty in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of the traffic rules for faults.

In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offences, a fine of 500 rubles or a warning is imposed. The tachograph records information on its own cards. Additionally, the information is duplicated on the driver card . Traffic police exam? Information is downloaded monthly from the driver’s card. The device card is unloaded once every three months.

When downloading information from the device, the data is stored on the computer for a year. The driver also has the right to download information from the map, print it and store it to confirm his route in case of conflict situations.

Failure to comply with such obligations may result in a fine, as in the case of a faulty appliance.

Purpose and types of device

What modern tachographs do:

record the vehicle's mileage and its speed;
mark the time of driving, breaks and other work performed by the driver;
register all data, encrypt it and save it in a form protected from editing.

There are 2 main types of devices: analog and digital tachograph. The first version of the control device is more practical; it is installed on ZIL more often. Information is recorded thanks to a cryptographic module with increased data storage capacity, a global positioning system.

Types of violations for driving a vehicle without a tachograph

The legislation concerns not only the use of the device, but also operating modes and breaks. According to the rules, the car should not be on the road for more than 10 hours. And every 5 hours you need to rest for at least 45 minutes.

All periods of driving and stopping are recorded by the device. Moreover, it is impossible to falsify the data - it is recorded in encrypted form. Based on the results of the recording, the regulatory authority can determine how the driver complied with the established rules. If they are violated, fines are issued.

The following question is important: what fine for driving without a tachograph is imposed if it breaks down. After all, only a master can understand the principle of operation of the device.

In such cases, you should not violate the route. It is necessary to complete the task, and only then head to the repair or replacement point. But if you do not take such action, it will be considered a violation of the law. And then the driver or owner of the car is subject to a fine, the amount of which depends on the aggravating circumstances and on whether the individual or legal entity committed the violation.

From the above it follows that the vehicle operator must carefully monitor the condition of the device in order to avoid unexpected cash expenses.

Operating principles of the device

How to use

At the beginning, the driver is required to insert a personalized card into the tachograph. After that, he enters information about his location, having previously entered a personal code. The tachograph contains several card slots, so that another driver can use the second one. Each driver's card is face up. If there is an error, the personal code will not be requested.

You need to know all the numbers of the personalized code by heart, otherwise the recovery will be long. If personal information is entered incorrectly, the card is blocked. The tachograph prompts you to enter a personal code when loading the device. It comes with the card when issued personally to the driver.

This type of chip has a certain shelf life. In this case, the period is three years. After this period of time, the citizen will have to obtain a new card.

Otherwise, for delay in such action, employees have the right to issue a penalty. After installing the card, the driver's last name, first name and patronymic will be displayed. In the absence of such information, you can understand that the card is not fully inserted. And you need to check that the installation is correct.

Next, enter information about rest and work hours. After entering such information, the citizen has the right to continue further movement. The presented device automatically switches to the start mode. And a drawing in the form of a steering wheel will appear on the screen. If the driver makes a stop, then you need to check the current mode.

When the ignition is turned off, the device goes into rest mode. You can switch it yourself by pressing the corresponding key.

Is it necessary to install a tachograph on a personal ZIL?

Device requirements

In accordance with some amendments at the beginning of April 2013, which were introduced into Federal Law No. 196, this facility is required to be installed by employers on almost every truck or passenger vehicle. In the absence of such a vehicle object, a penalty is imposed, which begins to be collected only from the specified period of time.

Previously, the legislation was intended to apply only to international transport. But the use of such a facility makes it possible to make domestic roads less dangerous than they are now.

Tachograph legislation stipulates a specific list of requirements that devices must fulfill. It also stipulates the rules of use, types and categories of vehicles that should use the unit.

Mandatory conditions also include:

availability of the necessary sensors and maps for visual viewing;
it is necessary to equip it with specific programs and software;
the building is obliged to protect itself from hacking and fraudsters;
availability of Glonass and GPS modules;
presence of a map and motion sensor.

Such an object should be operated only in accordance with the established procedure.

In particular:

the driver undertakes to insert a personalized card and enter his personal code. If there is a second driver, you need to insert his personalized card and enter your personal code;
When requesting an object, you must enter information about the location. As a rule, the territory is determined automatically;
The driver card is removed from the tachograph only after the end of the shift or after confirmation of the work performed.

The order of the Ministry of Transport regulates all categories of vehicles that are obliged to use tachograph data. And this can be either a cargo vehicle or a passenger vehicle of categories M2, M3, H2 and H3.

But the tachograph is not installed on buses with subcategories M2 and M3, which carry out daily transportation of citizens.

The driver's card also changes every three years.

Law on tachographs for trucks

Let's start with the legal aspects. “Law” should be put in quotation marks here, because except for the actual norms of laws (for example, the provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation on fines for the absence of a tachograph), most of the concepts are spelled out in Order No. 36 of the Ministry of Transport, or rather in Appendix No. 2 to it.

On the one hand, there is a document that specifies who needs to have the device while driving, and it doesn’t seem to matter much whether it’s a law, regulation, order or any other legal form. But on the other hand, and this often leads to confusion, changing a federal law is long and laborious, and changing the norms of an order (issuing a new one) takes a matter of several days, if not hours.

It is the change in the norms of the above order that leads to the generation of rumors, myths, and confusion.

Gossip, rumors and reality

Let’s consider the questions that most often arise in readers’ minds in the wake of various publications in the media:

“Tachographs have been cancelled.” There is also such information, but here we can definitely say that this is a lie . The types of cars have changed, a number of other provisions have been adjusted, but no one cares about the tachograph as a tool (and the reason for a fine for its absence). In one of the latest changes, the rules were extended to all cars, regardless of their form of ownership.
“There are different deadlines for installing tachographs, and perhaps there is no need to install the device on my car?” If your car is on the list of required installations, the tachograph must be . A certain implementation schedule did exist previously, but at the moment all its provisions should already be implemented.
“Do I need to change the analogue tachograph (puck) to a digital one?” Need to ! This is no longer a myth. Similar to the previous one, there was a schedule for replacing devices, but in all areas it should already be fulfilled. New tachographs are installed exclusively digital.

We will return to other difficulties and innovations later, when we consider the problems of specific types of cars.
