The SE5000 Exakt Duo2 tachograph from Stoneridge Electronics, boasting its ability to reduce a fleet’s infringements by 60% on average, has proven to be a remarkable success across Europe.
The Duo Technology includes multiple features such as countdowns on drive and rest times, warnings alerting drivers when to take their next rest period and real time ferry and train support, so the driver can easily see for how long they have interrupted their rest period. The Exakt Duo2 also includes a simple, intuitive manual entries process with a “Rest until now” function, keeping driver input to a minimum and allowing them to get started with their driving day.
As well as this, the SE5000 Exakt Duo2 may be used in conjunction with the Duo Mobile smartphone app, allowing for a second Duo display for easy viewing. The free app, which can be downloaded within seconds from Google Play, is now also compatible with Android Smart Watches, allowing the driver to receive vibration alerts on his wrist when nearing the end of his drive time – meaning a driver can keep compliant whilst focussing on the road.
For drivers not familiar with the SE5000 Exakt Duo2 there is plenty of support online for the product at www.SE5000Exakt.com. The comprehensive Training Section includes a very handy interactive product simulator, covering everything from manual entries to doing printouts, giving drivers plenty time to familiarise themselves with the features of the tachograph without being in the vehicle. There are also videos and easy to follow instructions which can be printed out for the drivers to keep in the cab.
Mark Hailwood, Fleet Manager for GBA Services, was just one of many who saw the benefits of the Exakt Duo2. He stated, “The drivers use the countdown feature a lot as it is really useful for avoiding infringements. We have definitely seen a reduction in infringements over the last couple of years thanks to the Duo.”
Paul, a driver, who was also impressed with the tachograph said, “It’s absolutely fab, knocks spots off its predecessors and I prefer it to the competitor’s units.”
Stoneridge are proud to have brought the first One Minute Rule tachograph to the market, giving drivers an average of 45 minutes extra driving time per driver per day and now they are helping fleets again by reducing infringements by an average of 60% with Duo Technology.
