GSR II and DDAW compliance: fatigue warning for the whole fleet
GSR II makes DDAW mandatory on new vehicles from 2026. Fleets with vehicles registered earlier won’t have it as standard: Oraigo brings a fatigue warning to those vehicles too, with no changes to the on-board electronics.
GSR II · from 2026
Reg. (EU) 2019/2144, DDAW mandatory on new heavy commercial vehicles.
Uncovered pre-2026 vehicles
Most fleets will use vehicles without built-in DDAW for years.
Wearable warning
A fatigue-warning function across the whole fleet, new and old vehicles, with no vehicle certification.
Cosa introduce il GSR II in tema di affaticamento
European Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 defined new active-safety standards for commercial vehicles, including drowsiness and inattention warning.
The DDAW system
GSR II requires new vehicles to include a system that warns the driver in case of inattention and drowsiness, to reduce fatigue-related accidents.
It applies to new vehicles
The requirement covers new registrations from 2026: vehicles already in the fleet are not affected and won’t have this function as standard.
The risk remains on pre-2026 vehicles
Much of the fleet will keep using vehicles without built-in DDAW for years, where the fatigue risk remains with no warning on board.
New and old vehicles in the same fleet
From 2026 fleets will be mixed: new vehicles with DDAW as standard and earlier vehicles without. Oraigo bridges the gap. Oraigo colma il divario.
Without DDAW as standard
Con DDAW obbligatorio
A fatigue warning across the whole fleet
Oraigo does not certify the vehicle’s compliance, but brings a fatigue-warning function across the whole fleet in the spirit of the DDAW.
A warning on existing vehicles too
Aigo and Go provide a vehicle-independent drowsiness warning: they’re used on pre-2026 vehicles with no changes to the on-board electronics.
A uniform standard across the whole fleet
While new vehicles will have DDAW as standard and old ones won’t, the wearable system brings the same fatigue warning to both.
Important note on compliance
Aigo does not make a vehicle GSR II compliant. Compliance concerns the vehicle’s type-approval, not a wearable accessory. Oraigo is a complementary safety solution that brings a DDAW-like function to vehicles that lack it. For specific regulatory matters it’s best to consult a specialist. Per gli aspetti normativi specifici è bene rivolgersi a un consulente.
Alignment with the spirit of the rule
Bringing a fatigue warning across the whole fleet is consistent with the direction set by GSR II, even where the requirement doesn’t reach.
Uniform fleet coverage
No vehicle is left without a fatigue safeguard, neither the new one with DDAW nor the old one without.
An argument towards clients and contracting bodies
Showing attention to fatigue is a concrete signal of seriousness in commercial relationships and tenders.
No modifications to the vehicle
The system is wearable and independent of the on-board electronics: it works on any vehicle, whatever the year of registration.
Technology beyond the standard DDAW
Camera-based DDAW detect visible symptoms. Oraigo’s EEG catches the drop at the source, in 78% of cases, with 13 min of advance warning.

Frequently asked questions
Does Aigo replace the mandatory DDAW?
No. It’s a complementary solution to bring a fatigue warning to vehicles that don’t have DDAW as standard.
Does GSR II compliance also concern vehicles already in the fleet?
The requirement covers new vehicles from 2026; existing vehicles are not affected, but remain exposed to fatigue risk.
Does Oraigo certify the vehicle's compliance?
No. Oraigo provides a safety function; type-approval and compliance matters must be verified with an expert.
