• Lucas Kienzle's Automatic Electronic 1318 tachograph, which is already fitted as original equipment by a number of manufacturers, will be available for the aftermarket from the beginning of August.
The 1318's automatic switching feature ensures that the driver only has to remember to move the mode switch for his rest breaks.
Maintenance costs are also reduced by the use of built-in self-diagnostic features. Any malfunction of the speed sensing impulse generator is signalled by a thick trace on the chart. In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, there is also an instantaneous full deflection of the speed stylus leaving an unmistakable and permanent record on the chart.
Another advanced feature of the 1318 tacho is the use of a fibre-optic communications port for direct transmission of data to an in-cab computer.
Lucas Kienzle is offering a new one-for-one exchange scheme at "favourable prices" through its tachograph centres.
