No! You don't have to use a tachograph for private use - at least in EU member countries. You don't have to use them for commercial purposes if a cargo vehicle does not exceed 3,5 tonnes of total weight or a passenger vehicle (a bus or a coach) has less than 9 seats.
The maximum time you can retain completed tachograph charts varies by jurisdiction. In the European Union, for example, it is required to keep these records for at least 12 months. Some regulations may allow for longer retention periods, but it’s essential to consult local laws for specific requirements. Always ensure compliance with the relevant regulations in your area.

In most vehicles it is a speedometer; in commercial vehicles a tachograph is used. The tachograph not only measures and displays the speed but also records the distance and speed driven over time; it is also more accurate than those in cars with an error of about 1-2% whereas those in cars are only accurate to about 10% and generally over estimate speed. They are checked every 2 years for calibration and recalibrated every 6 years unlike those in cars.
