From July 1, 2026, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) from 2,500 kg that transport goods internationally must be equipped with a Smart Tacho 2 (SMT2/G2V2). This new generation tachograph imposes stricter requirements for recording driving and rest times and demands an accurate and stable speed signal — exactly what the Beijer CAN Interface (BCI) can provide.
Are you planning to install a tachograph in a vehicle subject to the new regulations? In addition to an M1N1 adapter and KITAS sensor, you will also need a CAN Interface that can generate a stable speed signal. Choose the reliability of the BCI. The BCI has delivered a proven stable CAN speed signal for years and meets the strict requirements and tolerances set by measurement institutes for retrofit tachographs, taxi on-board computers, and police measuring instruments. With a BCI, your tachograph installation complies with legal standards.
The BCI technology can also be integrated into a system or application in the form of software: learn more about the Beijer CAN Library here.
