Electronic logging devices

Electronic logging devices (ELDs) are equipment that automatically record driving time in commercial motor vehicles. This helps make sure that drivers are compliant with hours of service regulations resulting in reduced fatigue for drivers, improved administrative efficiency and safer roads in Canada.

The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) has been working on the next revision of the Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). Please consult the CCMTA ELD Technical Standard consultation page.

Note about Transport Canada process for implementation and coming into force of the new CCMTA ELD Technical Standard version 1.3

Following CCMTA approval of the ELD Technical Standard version 1.3, Transport Canada will lead the process for the implementation and coming into force of the Technical Standard version 1.3, recognizing that Electronic Logging Devices Providers and Certification Bodies will need a period of transition before the full implementation of Technical Standard version 1.3. Further information will be communicated by Transport Canada in 2025, ahead of the approval of the new CCMTA Technical Standard version 1.3.

These webpages will be updated with:

  • information on testing and certification of ELDs.
  • updates on regulatory requirements that apply to road-side enforcement.
