Tachograph and Logbook
A free plugin for the single-player modes of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.
It transforms every job into a realistic work week: an EU-style tachograph tracks every minute spent behind the wheel, including breaks, daily and weekly rest periods. It also provides information on truck driving bans across European countries, helping you decide where to stop so you don’t end up stranded for a full day.
EU Tachograph: Tracks 4.5 hours of driving time, 45-minute breaks, 9- and 10-hour daily limits, 56- and 90-hour weekly/bi-weekly limits, and daily/weekly rest requirements.
A mini-window (accessible via F9) featuring color-coded indicators.
Notifications regarding whether a driving ban applies to your specific cargo.
A calendar showing the current real-world date and holidays.
A logbook tracking your profits and expenses.
Vehicle maintenance (servicing) based on mileage.
For American Truck Simulator (ATS), the system uses a US-style HOS (Hours of Service) logbook: 11 hours of driving time, a 14-hour duty window, 30-minute breaks, and a 70-hour limit over 8 days.
