| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the impact of telematics technology on fleet efficiency and sustainability at Glovo Uganda. The research focuses on three key areas: the effect of vehicle tracking on route optimization, the role of driver behavior monitoring in enhancing fuel efficiency, and the impact of fuel management systems on reducing environmental impact. Using data collected from questionnaires filled out by key stakeholders, primarily drivers and fleet managers, the study provides insights into the practical implications of telematics implementation in fleet management. The findings indicate that vehicle tracking significantly improves route optimization by enabling real-time adjustments, leading to reduced travel times and fuel consumption. Driver behavior monitoring, particularly in managing speeding, idling, and harsh braking, has enhanced fuel efficiency and promoted safer driving habits. Additionally, advanced fuel management systems have been effective in monitoring fuel usage, minimizing wastage, and reducing the carbon footprint of fleet operations. The study concludes that telematics technology is a powerful tool for enhancing fleet efficiency and sustainability when effectively implemented. Recommendations for Glovo Uganda include further investment in advanced telematics systems, driver training to maximize telematics benefits, and integrating predictive analytics for proactive route and fuel management. The research also suggests exploring the long-term impact of telematics on overall fleet performance and environmental sustainability. | |
