Discussions around fleet safety, as well as measures aimed at more upright driving, are increasingly recurrent and praised within companies.

At Grupo Edson Queiroz (GEQ), measures were taken for this purpose and today the results are celebrated.

“The transport team is made up of 64 people distributed across the headquarters (corporate) and business units”, says Milena Barroso, coordinator of the Corporate Logistics Board of the Edson Queiroz Group.
She says that the problems faced were, for the most part, related to driving behavior.
“For this reason, today we have acted very firmly to avoid speeding and behavior that put drivers' lives at risk”, he says.
To that end, they began to use the golfleet telemetry in the fleet of cars and motorcycles. According to Milena, technology made it possible for management to monitor fleet usage, identify the main offenders and work so that drivers, more and more, put safety first within the operation.

In this scenario, a solution that has contributed effectively and continues to bring great results is the module Speed per lane (Vvia), also from Golfleet, which the GEQ coordinator and director defines as a powerful tool.
Through Vvia, the speed of all positions, of all vehicles in the fleet, is validated following the rule of the urban and road inspection bodies, generating accurate information whenever the driver exceeds the speed allowed on the road.
"The Speed per lane allows us to identify the risks from an even broader perspective, since the driver who has a behavior of not obeying the speeds of the roads, is at the base of the Dupont pyramid, which deals with deviations”, he explains, highlighting that infractions of transit are a small portion of detours captured.

For Milena, there is still an important way to go. However, if there is one thing that is certain about the Edson Queiroz Group, it is the objective of move away from dealings with incidents and work more and more on prevention.
Since the GEQ began to invest more concretely in fleet safety, there has been a significant reduction in speeding.
“Comparing the speeding fines of the years 2021 and 2022, we had a 22% reduction in the amount of this type of infraction”, reveals without hiding that he still has important work to do to reach the ideal that is zero.
To achieve the goals, it is fundamental that there is a good involvement and level of awareness of the drivers.
“Once the employee realizes that the company values safety, it becomes even more necessary to police them on how to drive vehicles and be prepared for others to drive”, considers Milena.
In addition, she adds that the transport policy of the Edson Queiroz Group requires the taking preventive and economic driving courses and annual recycling as requirements for driver accreditation.
“These actions, combined with technology, help us reinforce this culture and walk the path towards the goal we intend to achieve”, he concludes.
