The CV Show 2015 took place at the NEC in Birmingham from 14-16 April. We had a great new look stand, on a very busy spot just between Hall 4 and Hall 5.

Our focus was the SE5000 Exakt Duo² (rev 7.5) tachograph, which delivers a 60% reduction in infringements through our very own Duo Technology....

Transpotec/Logitec 2015 is a bi-annual exhibition held in Verona, Italy. The event focuses on transportation and logistics, and is the only Italian show that also covers the international market.

On 6 April 2015, the UK tachograph legislation regarding the digital vehicle unit (VU) download period changed.

The maximum legal limit for downloading tachograph data from the VU has increased from the 56 days to 90 days. The ruling applies to both passenger and good vehicles, and the limit for the driver card remains the same.  

Having seen a significant reduction in their infringements, hauliers across Europe are enjoying the benefits of our Duo technology. And with the SE5000 Exakt Duo², you can too.

We were delighted to exhibit at this year's CV Show.  This was a great opportunity to demonstrate several new products, including the SE5000 Exakt Duo² digital tachograph.  

Come along to stand 4D11, and see the benefits of the SE5000 Exakt Duo² tachograph.  Featuring tried and tested Duo Technology, the decision support tool that gives drivers real-time updates on driving and rest time, it helps them to reduce infringements and stay legal. This really is our smartest One Minute Rule tachograph yet.

We recently upgraded Optimo with a feature workshops have been asking for. Now you can use it to configure 1381s as well as SE5000 tachographs for specific vehicle types, without the need for extra tools or equipment.

Truck and Transport is an international biannual exhibition held at the Brussels Expo in Belgium. This year they broke attendance records with over 33,000 visitors, and there was  a very positive atmosphere throughout.  

We have recently introduced PayPal as another  way to pay on our ecommerce site, optac.info/uk.
