What TungVognsSpecialisten ApS. does

TungVognsSpecialisten ApS (TVS) is a Danish compliance SaaS company that operates Tacho Online, a cloud-based platform for downloading, storing, and analyzing digital tachograph data from heavy commercial vehicles. The platform is purpose-built for road-transport fleet operators, drivers, and enforcement/HR workflows: it archives driver-hours and vehicle data (covering 50,000+ drivers and 22,000+ vehicles across more than 1,400 transport companies), produces compliance reports, and integrates with more than 20 Nordic fleet management and transport management systems.

The company was founded on 1 May 2009 by Carl Peter Frederiksen and Henrik Brunstedt, both former officers of the Danish Police Heavy Vehicle Section (Rigspolitiets Tungvognssektion), which informs the product's regulatory precision. TVS is owned by DTL — Danske Vognmænd, the Danish haulier trade association, and operates formal channel partnerships with DPT (Denmark), ATL/DI (Sweden), NLF (Norway), and SÅ, with a cross-Nordic three-way integration with One Road signed in 2023. Activity is centered in Denmark and extends into Sweden and Norway.

TVS monetizes through a transparent subscription model — a base fee per customer (115 DKK/month) plus per-driver and per-vehicle fees (7 DKK each per month) — supplemented by hardware sales (download devices), training, and consulting services. Headcount is approximately 11 employees including consultants, support staff, and an in-house development team following the 2018 insourcing of platform development; the company has not taken external venture or private equity capital.

Core offering

TVS provides a cloud-based tachograph data management platform (Tacho Online) for transport companies to collect, host, and analyze driver card and tachograph data for compliance with driving and rest time regulations. The offering is complemented by remote download hardware (Tacho Track with Lommy box), fleet tracking (Tacho Tag), payroll integration (TVS-Løn), professional consulting, and onsite driver training on EU transport legislation.

Product overview

TungVognsSpecialisten ApS (TVS) operates a platform-plus-modules product architecture centered on its flagship SaaS platform, Tacho Online, a cloud-based tachograph data management and compliance reporting system for transport companies. Tacho Online serves as the primary hub for collecting, storing, and analyzing digital tachograph and driver card data from vehicles and drivers. The portfolio is extended by Tacho Track (remote wireless tachograph download via a hardware box in partnership with GSFleet) and Tacho Tag (truck, trailer, and container tracking), both of which feed data into Tacho Online and its Tacho Fleet management layer. Paid add-on modules include the Tacho Online PLUS pakke (offering Working Time, Employee, and Anniversary modules) and TVS-Løn (a payroll calculator that pulls tachograph data to automate driver salary in Dataløn, built with BaseOnline). Supporting the software suite are consulting, education/training, and tachograph equipment (SIEMENS VDO/Scania download keys and accessories) services. The company also produces a podcast, 'På vejen med TVS', and operates a Master Driver Network for professional peer exchange. Tacho Online integrates with more than 20 fleet management platforms, OEM systems, and payroll tools, and is the selected tachograph platform for several major Nordic transport associations (DTL, ATL/DI, NLF, DPT, SÅ).

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ABAX: ABAX is a Nordic fleet management and asset tracking provider with integrated tachograph download solutions. It competes directly with TVS's Tacho Track offering in the same Nordic geography and customer base of small-to-mid transport operators.
• Stoneridge: Stoneridge is a US/Swedish-headquartered manufacturer of digital tachographs and related compliance electronics. It overlaps most directly with TVS as both a tachograph hardware maker and a compliance solutions provider targeting commercial fleet operators in Europe.
• ACTIA Group: ACTIA is a French-listed manufacturer of telematics and electronic systems for commercial vehicles, including tachographs and fleet compliance solutions. It targets the same European commercial vehicle compliance market as TVS with overlapping product functionality.
• Mapon: Mapon is a Baltic/Nordic fleet management platform with native tachograph integration. It serves the same haulier and passenger transport operators as TVS and is listed as a Tacho Online integration partner, making it both a partner and a competing compliance data source.
• Traxee: Traxee is a European fleet management platform offering remote tachograph download and driving time analysis for SMB hauliers. It targets the same customer profile as TVS and is listed as a Tacho Online integration partner.
• FleetGO: FleetGO is a European fleet management and tachograph data platform that integrates directly with Tacho Online. It competes with TVS's Tacho Track for the same European small-fleet customers needing remote download and compliance reporting.

Broad incumbents

• Webfleet Solutions (Bridgestone): Webfleet is one of Europe's largest fleet management SaaS platforms with native tachograph data download. It serves many of the same European transport operators as TVS and is also a Tacho Online integration partner — making it both a powerful incumbent and a potential channel for TVS.
• Geotab: Geotab is a global telematics giant with a growing European commercial vehicle compliance offering, including HOS and tachograph integration modules. It competes for the same SMB and enterprise fleet customers with a much broader platform portfolio than TVS's niche focus.
• Transics (Trimble): Transics, owned by Trimble, is a leading European commercial vehicle fleet management platform offering its own tachograph data analytics. It targets large and mid-sized European fleets with broader transportation management functionality than TVS's specialist compliance focus.
• Continental (VDO): Continental's VDO brand is the dominant European manufacturer of digital tachographs and also sells VDO Smart Terminals through TVS. As both a hardware partner and an OEM with broader connected vehicle capabilities, Continental overlaps TVS's compliance domain within a much wider automotive electronics portfolio.
