VW connected mobility: P&V Assurance partners with D’Ieteren and Amodo

P&V Assurance has partnered with Amodo (a connected mobility platform provider) and D’Ieteren (a car dealership based in Belgium) to launch a ‘connected mobility’ platform for Volkswagen Group cars (D’leteren 70-year old relationship).

The program is being distributed through WeChat and offers pay how you drive usage-based insurance with additional benefits for demonstrably safe drivers. This joint P&V/Amodo platform relies on on-board diagnostic technology and uses an advanced array of smartphone sensors to determine driving behaviours, which are then used to inform the Pay-How-You-Drive (PHYD) insurance.

The auto insurance industry is being disrupted by increased interest in autonomous vehicles and changing consumer expectations. For auto insurers, this is now a matter of survival and with non-traditional players like Tesla entering the insurance market, property insurers will soon be in the firing line. Partnerships such as this one between P&V, D´Ieteren and Amodo are one of the ways for traditional insurers to explore areas they do not have expertise in, and as telematics technology is still developing, there is still significant scope to explore and innovate.
