We are proud to announce that the milestone of the 1000th CDR Analyst certificate within the EUDARTS Group has been reached! During the Israeli CDR course in 2025, organized by Ledico Tel Aviv, Tal Cohen Sason became the 1000th CDR Analyst to successfully pass the exams. In recognition of this achievement, both we and Ledico honored him with a special tribute.
Throughout the course, participants gained essential knowledge as both CDR Technicians and Analysts. They learned how to download crash data from the EDR system, identify case-critical information, assess its reliability and accuracy, and utilize Freeze-Frame data in accident investigations.
In the end, all participants successfully passed their exams. The newly certified CDR Technicians and Analysts in Israel can now be found on the EXPERT PAGE.

Mossos d'Esquadra:
Data Analysis from a Kawasaki Motorcycle in Collision Study
Ocrober 2024 Jeroen van Essen
A presentation by the Mossos d'Esquadra from Catalonia, Spain, reveals insights into how data can be extracted from Kawasaki motorcycles. The presentation specifically examines a collision involving a Kawasaki Z800 and a Ford Ecosport, highlighting the application of data in the investigation of the crash.
Key conclusions from the case study emphasize the need for improved data standards. The report notes that without European regulation, motorcycle manufacturers are free to customize their Event Data Recorders (EDRs) to suit their individual requirements.
For more information about EDRs in motorcycles, additional resources are available on the motorcycles page.
BOSCH CDR v24.2 System Software
Ocrober 2024 Jeroen van Essen
October 3, 2024 - Bosch released CDR Tool Software Version 24.2
*Refer to the CDR Software Help File for supported vehicles
IMPORTANT: Installing a CDR version of 3.6 or later over an existing version of CDR software will cause the CDR program to operate as a CDR file reader only, unless the software can be activated using an Activation Certificate. Activation Certificates will only be available to current CDR software subscribers.
If users do not have a means to reinstall a prior version of CDR software, Bosch does not recommend installing a CDR version of 3.6 or later on a computer over a previous version until they receive their Activation Certificates”
On the 2nd of October, the Delegated Regulation for Trucks and Buses was published in the Official Journal of the EU, This regulation supplemented (EU) 2019/2144 (the so-called General Safety Regulation) , with further detailed rules for the EDR in Heavy Goods vehicles and Busses. The implementation dates are for type-approvals: 7 January 2026 and for first registrations 7 January 2029. Regulation 2019/2144 is structured in the same way as Regulation (EU) 2022/545 for cars and vans, but instead of referring to UN ECE Regulation 160 (as is done for cars and vans), reference has been made to the requirements of ECE Regulation 169.
The EU has translated ECE Regulation 169 into all European official languages: see https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1218/oj
At its meeting on 22 December 2023, the Federal Council adopted improved safety standards for vehicles. Following European regulations governing road traffic approval, new vehicles must be equipped with an accident data recorder and new driver assistance systems. Improved bodywork components will also improve the safety of vehicle occupants and pedestrians. The regulations in question will come into force on 1 April 2024.

We are pleased with the announcement and the cooperation with our new partner PLMOT in Poland.
Very good course given that was very positively received by the Polish students in collaboration with our new PLMOT teacher Szymon Wensierski and assistance from our existing Polish teacher Michal Krzeminski.
Jesteśmy zadowoleni z ogłoszenia i współpracy z naszym nowym partnerem PLMOT w Polsce.
Bardzo dobry kurs, biorąc pod uwagę, że został bardzo pozytywnie przyjęty przez polskich uczniów we współpracy z naszym nowym nauczycielem PLMOT Szymonem Wensierskim i pomocą naszego obecnego polskiego nauczyciela Michała Krzemińskiego.
General Safety Regulation: 7 of July 2024.
Jan Paul Peters and Hans Bot, July 2024
As of July 7, 2024, the 41 data elements mandated by the General Safety Regulation (2019/2144) will take effect. Initially introduced for type-approval of new models on July 7, 2022, these regulations will now apply to every new car.
Additionally, 23 more data elements will be enforced starting: for new type-approvals in July 2024 and two years later for every new car in July 2026. Note that these dates are specific to passenger cars and light-duty vehicles.
The Delegated Act for EDR Trucks is virtually identical to that for passenger cars (2022/545). However, Regulation 160 has been replaced by 169 and the effective date is January 7, 2026. (see documents)
There has been a preliminary ruling by the European Court on access to the OBD, following a case brought by Carglass against FCA (Fiat). (JUDGMENT OF THE COURT)
This ruling makes legislation on cybersecurity difficult and will undoubtedly be followed up.
There are 3 new Bosch Cables availble:
1) VW Cable #850 for VW Amarok, VW Up!, Bora, ...
2) Suzuki Cable #874 for Swift, Vitara, SX4, 2023/2024 onwards
