Depot systems in transport maintenance play a critical role in ensuring vehicle availability for Rwanda's transportation infrastructure. However, their efficiency and effectiveness remain under-researched. Randomized controlled trials were conducted across four depots, with measures taken for baseline data collection and post-intervention yield analysis. Data was analysed using a two-sample t-test to compare mean yields between treatment (improved depot systems) and control groups. The randomized trial revealed an average yield improvement of 15% in the depots implementing enhanced maintenance protocols, with significant reductions in downtime attributed to these improvements. This study highlights the potential for yield improvements through targeted interventions in Rwanda's transport maintenance sector, providing a robust framework for future research and policy development. The findings suggest that further randomized trials should be conducted across additional depots to validate initial results and identify best practices for enhancing depot systems efficiency. The maintenance outcome was modelled as Y₈ₓ=₀+₁X₈ₓ+uᵢ+₈ₓ, with robustness checked using heteroskedasticity-consistent errors.
