Digital tachographs appeared in Russia on 16 June 2010 (digital tachographs appeared before the specified date). Starting from 16 June 2010, the Russian Federation was supposed to implement the European digital tachography system on its territory for international transportation, but by that date the digital tachography infrastructure was not ready, as was the case in a number of other countries, as a result the first AETR digital tachograph cards were issued at the end of 2010 in accordance with the international agreement of the countries that joined the AETR. Before that date, no later than 3 months, all interested parties (drivers, inspectors, mechanics, administrators of motor transport enterprises) must be provided with special cards.

Unlike analogue devices, the disks of which were easily counterfeited, this device cannot be opened or the recorded information changed in any way. All information is recorded on an individual driver card and transmitted to the central computer of the motor transport enterprise.

Since 23 January 2012, the tachograph in Russia has become mandatory for installation and use when transporting passengers and dangerous goods. This is evidenced by the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles in the latest edition. And since 1 April 2013, the presence of a digital tachograph has become mandatory for all wheeled transport owned by [[Types of legal entities in Russia|legal entities and individual entrepreneurs]] (including [[GAZelle]]s and taxis), which is in operation on the territory of Russia, as reported in [[Law of Russia|Federal Law]] No. 78-FZ adopted on 14 June 2012 (Article 1 and Article 12).

In accordance with Order No. 36 dated 13.02.13 of the [[Ministry of Transport (Russia)|Ministry of Transport of Russia]], the following categories and types of vehicles issued for circulation and in operation on the territory of the Russian Federation are equipped with tachographs:

*Vehicles used to carry passengers, having, in addition to the driver's seat, more than eight seats, the maximum mass of which does not exceed 5 tons (category M2);
*Vehicles used to carry passengers, having, in addition to the driver's seat, more than eight seats, the maximum mass of which exceeds 5 tons (category M3);
*Vehicles intended to carry goods, having a maximum mass of over 3.5 tons, but not more than 12 tons (category N2);
*Vehicles intended to carry goods, having a maximum mass of over 12 tons (category N3).

On 16 December 2015, the Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia No. 348 was published, which amends order No. 273. Order No. 348 changes the deadline for equipping vehicles of categories N2, N3, M2, M3 with digital tachographs. Now vehicles must be equipped with digital tachographs by 1 July 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://publication.pravo.gov.ru/Document/View/0001201512180017|title = Приказ Минтранса России от 02.12.2015 N 348 "О внесении изменений в Порядок оснащения транспортных средств тахографами, утвержденный приказом Министерства транспорта Российской Федерации от 21 августа 2013 г.
