Allianz UK partners with US-based technology company to enhance fleet risk management

Allianz UK has signed a deal with technology platform Samsara to make modernised risk management technology more accessible to a broader range of UK fleets. 

In this partnership, Allianz-insured commercial customers will be provided with access to Samsara’s artificial intelligence (AI) dual-facing dash cams and connected operations platform.

The deal also gives Allianz UK’s motor fleet policyholders access to exclusive discounts on Samsara’s technology through a referral programme.

The initiative is designed to help more fleets leverage data-driven insights to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability.

Gerry Ross, head of motor fleet at Allianz UK, said: “The strategic partnership between Allianz UK and Samsara was established to address the growing need for advanced risk management solutions to our policyholders.

“We’re committed to offering innovative and effective solutions that help protect our customers by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, which can help our customers to proactively identify and positively impact their fleet risk.”

Supporting fleets 

To support the partnership, both Samsara and Allianz UK are conducting regional enablement sessions across the UK.

The platform allows fleet managers to use AI-powered incident detection and in-cab coaching, plan routes to optimise fuel consumption, streamline workflows to lower operational costs, track emissions and support the transition to electric vehicles.

Jack Burton, EMEA partnerships manager at Samsara, said: “This strategic partnership with Allianz marks a significant milestone in our commitment to revolutionising fleet insurance.

“We’ve seen first-hand how our connected operations technology empowers fleets to gain deeper insights into their operations, enabling them to improve safety and mitigate risks. Our shared success with Allianz is built on a foundation of trust and a mutual commitment to empowering our customers with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving landscape.

”Together, we’re helping fleets make proactive decisions that not only protect their assets, but also drive tangible returns on investment.”
