ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket has just announced the industry debut of its new VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) for the commercial vehicle market. 
According to Continental, VDO RoadLog is a simple, all-in-one solution for daily log book and other compliance reporting. It is designed to allow drivers and fleets to record and report Hours of Service (HOS) and other key compliance data quickly, easily and without monthly fees.
According to Alexis Capelle, segment leader, Tachograph, Telematics and Services – Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket Business Unit NAFTA, “With CSA, the new enforcement and compliance process for the trucking industry, in place, EOBRs will be playing a key role in helping fleets and independent operators to protect and improve their CSA scores. Our new VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder will set the standard for cost-effectiveness and overall simplicity.”
VDO RoadLog can automatically track the driver’s time in one of four categories: On-duty, Driving, Sleeper Berth and Off-duty, and provide a warning if allowable limits will be exceeded. The driver’s data can be transferred in seconds from a USB without the need for a smartphone.
RoadLog features a built-in printer, which provides an instant paper report of daily log book data at roadside inspection so drivers can get back on the road quickly. RoadLog’s printout delivers all the information provided by a handwritten log, but does so faster, easier and more accurately.
VDO RoadLog also can record data for a variety of reports that can help make commercial vehicle operations safer and more efficient, the company says, including Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection (DVIR), International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) and International Registration Plan (IRP).
VDO RoadLog offers plug n’ play installation, so it can be operational on any heavy-duty rig in a matter of minutes. It is FMCSA compliant and also meets Canadian rules. It’s also designed to be easily upgradeable to future U. S. and Canadian EOBR regulations, the company adds.
