Steven Salmon, CPT’s Director of Policy Development said: “This helpful clarification from the European Commission confirms precisely CPT’s view that it is not a legal requirement for vehicles on a regular service to be fitted with tachographs solely because there are no stops on the route. It is very good news for our members and will particularly help operators running school contracts to, for example, sporting facilities which do not involve stops along the way.
