A DUEL-PURPOSE tachograph has been produced by Lucas Kienzle Instruments Ltd and approved for use as an EEC instrument. The instrument is already in production and will be available here in August. It is expected to cost about £110 installed (£10 more than a one-driver instrument). At the same time the company's singledriver EEC instrument will be made available for the first time on the UK market.
The latest Kienzle device is deliberately not referred to as a "two-driver" model because EEC Regulation 543/69 states that the activities of a crew member must be recorded. The same Regulation goes on to say that a crew member is a driver, conductor, courier or any person carried on the vehicle in order to be available for driving if necessary, or any person accompanying driver of the vehicle in order to assist him in certain manoeuvres and habitually taking an effective part in the transport operations.
