POZI and GESPARC were highlighted by the Francophonie economic mission for a partnership on connected fleet tech and electric retrofitting in Africa.
The Francophonie economic mission highlighted a partnership between POZI and GESPARC focused on fleet intelligence in Francophone Africa.
POZI positions itself as a smart fleet management platform. In practical terms, that means using connected devices and software to turn vehicles into data sources, for example location, driving behaviour, fuel usage, and maintenance signals.
The mission spotlighted two areas. The first is connected fleet technology, which typically includes GPS tracking, driver monitoring, and alerts that help operators reduce incidents and improve utilisation. The second is electric retrofitting, which means converting existing combustion vehicles to electric drivetrains instead of buying new EVs.
POZI says it operates across Central and West Africa, and markets outcomes like cost savings and fewer critical incidents. It also lists several organisations as customers on its site, including GVA, NSIA, OLA Energy, UNDP, and others.
Fleet costs are a major line item for logistics, distribution, field services, and corporate transport across Africa. Better visibility into trips, idle time, and maintenance helps reduce waste and makes it easier to enforce safety policies.
Electric retrofitting could be attractive in markets where new electric vehicles are hard to finance or source reliably. Retrofitting can lower operating costs over time, but it also raises new questions around battery lifecycle, warranty, and access to charging infrastructure.
If POZI and GESPARC can combine telematics, which is vehicle data sent over networks, with retrofit programs, operators may get clearer proof of savings. That proof matters for procurement decisions and for lenders that want measurable performance before financing fleet upgrades.
