At Argent Equipment, we offer a wide range of commercial vehicle testing services, as well as tachograph installation and calibration. We offer these services to help vehicle owners in Ireland adhere to the Road Safety Authority Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Act 2012 and

EU Regulation No 165/2014 on tachographs in road transport.

This new version 2 smart tachograph is to be fitted to new vehicles first registered since August 2023 and retrofitted to vehicles operating internationally from the following dates:

Here, we examine tachograph and speed limiter management and how they help to keep Ireland’s roads safer for all motorists.

Tachograph equipment is required by law when driving commercial buses and trucks in Ireland, continuously recording information so that drivers abide by EU driver hour regulations. In addition to being fitted, they also need to be inspected every two years and fully calibrated every six years to ensure they're accurate and functioning correctly.

A tachograph is a mandatory device that's fitted to certain types of commercial vehicles and trucks in Ireland. Automatically recording vehicle distances and speeds, as well as driving and resting times, there are both digital and analogue devices available.

Our tachograph installation service meets the highest industry standards, so you can hit the road knowing that you’re fully compliant with all Irish and EU laws that relate to driving vehicles of a certain type commercially. So, let’s see why it’s important.

The Argent Equipment team offers the full range of vehicle testing services from our workshops located to the West of Dublin. We’re known for the quality of our work, as well as our industry expertise. However, something else we offer is tachograph calibration.
