Compliance and data services

Keeping track and staying compliant doesn’t need to be a headache. Our Compliance and Data services are designed to give you peace of mind and help you ensure truck compliance with industry legislation. With data, you can keep track of your drivers’ activity, get 24/7 secure online access to your company card, and set up automatic tachograph downloads.

What are compliance and data services?

Compliance and Data services help you stay on the right side of regulations. Track driver activity in line with EU rules, get alerts before violations happen, and simplify daily inspections with a digital tool that lets drivers report checks and defects straight from their device.

Keep track of your driver’s activity as required by law

Using trucking compliance software in the Driver Times service, you can use truck data to stay compliant with the road transport Working Time Directive and EU legislation on driving time and rest periods.

Get proactive alerts before a violation occurs

Know the time remaining until a break or rest is required before an infringement occurs by receiving notifications.

Ensure daily inspections are complete

The tool saves time and helps to ensure that any issues are reported effectively, avoiding costly downtime, fines and maintenance.

Your compliance and data services

Take a closer look in the tabs below to discover how you can simplify your operations and drive your business forward.

    Driver Times

    The Driver Times service is accessible in Volvo Connect and will show you how to get more from your drivers’ available work hours. You can learn which driver is best suited to a new assignment, which one should take a rest – and who should call it a day. It will also help you comply with EU legislation by remotely downloading driver card and tachograph memory data directly to your office.

    Easy compliance with EU regulations

    Driver Times simplifies compliance with EU driving time and rest regulations. It clearly displays remaining driving time, alerts drivers before violations, and ensures full legal compliance.

    Remote tachograph downloads

    Driver Times allows quick remote downloading of tachograph data from anywhere, eliminating lengthy manual downloads and keeping records effortlessly updated.

    Clear and simple driver monitoring

    Monitor driver activities clearly with Driver Times. It provides essential data and reports, ensuring drivers easily comply with driving and rest period regulations.

    Company Card Hosting

    With Company Card Hosting, you can trust that your data and files are always available when you need them. Volvo Trucks will host the card online at our secure facilities, and you can access it from anywhere, at any time, in Volvo Connect. Itʼs a convenient way to track driver activity as required by legislation.

    Access your data from anywhere

    With Company Card Hosting, you can access your data and files from anywhere and at any time in Volvo Connect. Your company card is online, which means you’ll always have access to remote downloads and files. Everything is saved in Volvo Connect for five years and can easily be exported or forwarded to third-party analysis software.

    No maintenance required

    Company Card Hosting gives you the flexibility to access your files after the daily downloads without requiring the company card to be hosted on your server. This reduces manual administration and ensures maximum data security.

    Data Access

    The Data Access service in Volvo Connect allows truck data to be stored and accessed via the cloud according to the Remote FMS standard (rFMS). This enables data to be integrated with your existing systems and allows you to utilize data from vehicles, benefiting transport operations with mixed fleets regardless of model or make.

    Wireless technology and sensors

    It is now possible to collect vast amounts of data from a truck in real time, analyze that data and identify patterns – making it possible to predict and anticipate a fault before it occurs. This gives you time to schedule a workshop visit at your convenience and then fix the fault before it causes an unexpected breakdown.

    AI

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to analyze greater volumes of data to detect patterns, resulting in even more accurate predictions. Different parameters and data points from a wider variety of components and sensors can be combined, which AI systems then analyze to detect patterns that might show that something is likely to lead to a breakdown.

    How safe is your data?

    We ensure full compliance with local data regulations like GDPR in Europe or any other local regulation. When it comes to personnel access to data during development and service operation, we strive for full transparency on how data is used.

    Daily Inspection

    The Daily Inspection tool in Volvo Connect digitalizes the daily walk-around check and allows drivers to complete and report inspections from their smartphone or tablet, complete with a photo of any defects and their own notes. Transport managers have access to all completed inspections. The tool saves time and helps to ensure that any issues are reported effectively, avoiding costly downtime, fines and maintenance.

    For drivers

    Complete your walk-around checks on any smartphone or tablet, capture photos of defects, add notes, and submit in seconds.
