What's New in version 26.0?
April 2026 Jeroen van Essen
We are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of CDR Software Version 26.0! This significant update delivers a massive expansion of supported vehicles, extending your investigative capabilities to the very latest models across the globe. In today's rapidly evolving automotive landscape, staying ahead means support for the newest vehicles on the road. CDR v26.0 ensures you can efficiently and accurately retrieve critical crash data from a wider array of newly released vehicles, allowing you to access crash data which is crucial for your reconstruction efforts. CDR Next Generation Application (CDR2) ▶ CDR v26.0 installation program comes bundled with both CDR (Legacy) and CDR2 (Next Generation software). Both Legacy and CDR2 are installed when CDR26.0Setup.exe installation program is executed.
Bosch is pleased to deliver the second version of the next-generation Crash Data Retrieval Tool (CDR2) software. This new software platform uses the latest in software technology to support the latest security and software components, ensuring continual support of new vehicles throughout the world for years to come. The CDR2 application will become the main platform moving forward as new vehicle coverage and features are added starting in 2023.
Where can I get CDR2?
The CDR2 application is bundled with the CDR (Legacy) application and can be
found on the same official CDR software site on the Bosch Diagnostics website:
https://cdr.boschdiagnostics.com/cdr/sof
Download the most recent CDR software setup file and install this new version, where CDR and CDR2 are installed automatically.
The New and the Old CDR
Starting with the CDR 23.3 setup program, both the current version of the CDR (Legacy) application and the CDR2 application will be bundled and installed on your PC for every major release of the CDR software.
What CDR application should I use?
For now, always launch your CDR (Legacy) application like you have been doing for
the last 25+ years. Because the CDR (Legacy) currently has more coverage than
the new one, this is the best place to start when using the CDR Tool. As more coverage is added in the future, this will change. The vehicle list in the CDR (Legacy) help file will indicate when the CDR2 application is required. All you must do is click on the “CDR2” link when displayed
in the help file for the vehicle you wish to download, and the CDR2 application will
launch for you (see example in the attachment).
New EU safety regulations for trucks (2026–2029)
Hans Bot, February2026
Under recent EU regulations, Event Data Recorders (EDRs) will become mandatory for heavy-duty vehicles under the General Safety Regulation (GSR2):
-
From 7 January 2026, new trucks (vehicle categories M2/M3 for buses and N2/N3 for trucks and tractor units) must already be equipped with an Event Data Recorder as part of their type approval in order to be allowed onto the EU market at all.
-
From 7 January 2029, this obligation will apply to all newly produced vehicles in these categories — including models that have already been approved previously.
The technical requirements for EDRs in heavy-duty vehicles are laid down in UN ECE Regulation R169 and are part of EU legislation, such as EU Regulation 2024/2220 (implemented under GSR2).
Key elements:
Location data or driver-identifying data are excluded from mandatory recording in order to comply with privacy regulations, and cannot be legally required.
In addition to EDRs, other safety features will also become mandatory for heavy-duty vehicles, such as:
advanced emergency braking systems (AEB)
blind-spot and detection systems
intelligent speed assistance
All of these measures fall under the same GSR2 framework.
United States – EDR Rule Expansion Under Review
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been working on expanding EDR requirements for heavier vehicles, including buses and trucks:
Proposed Changes
-
NHTSA’s 2024 final rule expands what EDRs must record — increasing pre-crash capture from 5 seconds at 2 Hz to 20 seconds at 10 Hz.
-
Following industry petitions, the agency is proposing to delay the implementation date from September 1, 2027, to September 1, 2028, with a phased-in compliance through 2030 and beyond.
Industry Implications
-
Truck and bus OEMs and suppliers are questioning the pace and scope of the expanded EDR requirements. A phased rollout is being considered to give manufacturers time to adapt.
Other Global Trends
-
India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed mandating location tracking and EDRs for haulage tractors (heavy goods vehicles) starting in April 2027 to improve safety and operational monitoring.
Market Growth
-
The global Event Data Recorder market (hardware and software) is forecast to grow significantly, nearly doubling in value between 2025 and 2035, driven by regulatory mandates and data demand.

DigitalAnalyst 6.1 Released
We’re excited to announce the release of DigitalAnalyst 6.1, now offering full support for the version tag specified in Generation 2 Version 2 tachographs.
This new tag ensures compatibility with the latest digital tachograph data standards — currently implemented for Gen2V2 units, with future generations expected to follow the same structure.
Older versions of DigitalAnalyst required manual editing of the download file to load Gen2V2 data correctly. With version 6.1, this process is now fully automated, allowing a smoother and more reliable workflow for digital data analysis.
🔹 Key improvement: Automatic recognition of Gen2V2 tachograph version tags
🔹 Benefit: Eliminates manual adjustments — faster, error-free data loading
🔹 Availability: Version 6.1 is now available for download from the Downloads Page.
This can be safely installed over your existing installation.
