Abstract: A vehicle information apparatus for recording, computation and display of data ascertainable from the driving performance of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a transmitter module for providing data concerning a trip, a central unit with internal program and data memories and a display device. The vehicle information apparatus is coupled with the operating mechanism of a radio cassette set for playback of data information stored on an audio data carrier. The transmitted data are separated in a signal input and output stage of the apparatus, stored and displayed. The audio data carrier is repeatedly loaded with topical information and serves particularly for the distribution of instructions prior to the start of a driver's shift in a taxi or transportation vehicle fleet.
