Tachographs supposed to be GPS equipped in 5 years time

The European Parliament’s Committee of Transport (TRAN) wants to bring forward the date by which all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) must be equipped with a ‘smart’ tachograph (the device that records the driving and rest time of lorry drivers).
This has to be done to prevent fraud, which still happens with electronic tachographs-system isn't as effective, as was expected before launching it.
GPS enabled system would enable institutions on the road to choose for checking only vehicles which have bad records already, saving time and costs, instead of stopping every vehicle.
According to a report by Silvia-Adriana Ticau (S&D, Romania), adopted on 31 May, this should be around 2017 (24 months after the entry into force of technical specifications that the Commission hopes to adopt at the latest by the end of 2014).
It was also proposed that older lorries equipped with old devices should be “retro-equipped” by 2020 at the latest.
