Novi, Michigan — Stoneridge, Inc. has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the SE5000 Smart 2 tachograph, which features enhanced security measures through Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA). The new tachograph was officially introduced on May 7, 2025, and is designed specifically for European commercial vehicles, meeting the latest regulatory standards imposed by the European Union.
The SE5000 Smart 2 leverages Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, specifically the Galileo satellite system, allowing for accurate vehicle positioning. This advanced tachograph necessitates stable reception from a minimum of three satellites to ensure precision in tracking vehicle movement. The integration of OSNMA provides an added layer of security by verifying the authenticity of GNSS signals, thus countering the risks associated with signal spoofing.
This technological advancement is particularly significant as it aligns with the EU Mobility Package I regulations that were implemented in July 2020. These regulations are aimed at enhancing road safety, preventing driver fatigue, and ensuring fair competition in the international transport market. Key elements of the EU Mobility Package I include the requirement for the installation of second-generation smart tachographs in new vehicles starting from August 21, 2023, along with a mandatory retrofit deadline for international transport vehicles by August 19, 2025.
The SE5000 Smart 2 tachograph is not only built for compliance but brings many user-friendly features that enhance performance and reliability for fleets, drivers, and workshops. The updated software within the device is designed to improve the overall user experience, making it easier for all parties involved in vehicle monitoring and management.
Stoneridge has ensured that existing SE5000 Smart 2 units can also benefit from the new OSNMA features through a simple software update. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that empower fleets and enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation operations.
Stoneridge, Inc., headquartered in Novi, Michigan, specializes in designing and manufacturing electrical and electronic systems tailored for various vehicle markets across the globe. The successful launch of the SE5000 Smart 2 tachograph is a testament to Stoneridge’s continuous effort in innovation and compliance within the evolving regulatory landscape.
As the SE5000 Smart 2 tachograph is now available for order, the European commercial vehicle market can look forward to integrating enhanced security and performance capabilities into their fleets, which will undoubtedly contribute to a safer and more efficient transportation environment.
