    (Uganda Christian University, 2023-09-12) Lewis P Ngumbu Cherubala
    This study delved into the implementation of a sustainable fleet in transportation, with the primary goal of enhancing effectiveness through the adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles and practices. The core strategy centered on the utilization of electric, hybrid, or alternative fuel vehicles, leading to a reduction in emissions, a minimized carbon footprint, and decreased operating costs. To further optimize fleet performance, this approach encompassed the integration of efficient route planning, diligent maintenance protocols, and comprehensive driver training. By seamlessly merging these eco-friendly technologies with streamlined operational methodologies, the adoption of a sustainable fleet distinctly enhanced overall efficiency while simultaneously making positive strides toward environmental preservation and economic advancement. This study explored the implementation of sustainable fleet management as a means to enhance transport efficiency. The objectives of this research were threefold: firstly, to identify the diverse benefits stemming from the integration of sustainability practices within fleet management to bolster transportation effectiveness; secondly, to compare the various methods and procedures of sustainable fleet management and analyze their respective impacts on overall transportation efficiency; and finally, to scrutinize the challenges encountered by companies during the adoption of sustainable fleet management practices. Through a comprehensive examination of these objectives, this study shed light on the multifaceted relationship between sustainable fleet management and transportation effectiveness, providing valuable insights for businesses and policymakers striving to optimize both environmental and operational outcomes.
