How DGT 3.0 regulations affect fleet and company drivers
The digital transformation of the mobility sector is already underway, and the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has taken a decisive step with the implementation of the DGT 3.0 system. This new regulation directly affects professional drivers, logistics companies, and fleet managers. Being prepared is not an option; it's a necessity.
What exactly is DGT 3.0? 🚨
DGT 3.0 is a digital traffic ecosystem connected in real time. Its objective is to improve road safety through the automatic exchange of data between vehicles, infrastructure, and the DGT's digital platform.
Starting January 1, 2026, all V16 beacons indicating a breakdown or accident must communicate directly with the DGT cloud, permanently replacing the traditional emergency triangle. This change particularly affects companies with large volumes of vehicles on the road.
Why is it important for companies and fleets?
A fleet performs critical operational functions. Therefore, complying with regulations is not only a matter of safety, but also of legal compliance and efficiency.
These are the main implications for the business world:
- ✅ Obligation to use approved connected V16 beacons.
- ✅ Reduction in the risk of sanctions
- ✅ Improved corporate image by complying with current regulations.
- ✅ Digitalization of roadside incident control.
