War-torn Ukraine Ukraine has adopted EU rules on drivers’ working time and the obligation to use G2V2 smart tachographs in international transport.
The new rules include driving and rest standards, a ban on regular weekly cabin rest, and expanded data recording and storage obligations.
The changes will come into force in the summer of 2026 and have a direct impact on the transport market in the EU.
