Allianz Commercial is now offering cutting edge risk management technology to its motor fleet customers, at preferential rates, in an attempt to help reduce the frequency of accidents, specifically whilst employees are 'driving at work'.

In partnership with SmartDrive Systems and Vision Techniques, policyholders can fit in-vehicle video camera technology to vehicles, which will observe the driving standards of drivers and in the event of a collision can help to prove liability. When properly installed and managed, the SmartDrive system can reduce collision frequency in commercial vehicles by more than 30%.

Jon Dye, motor manager, Allianz Commercial, said: "As a responsible insurer, we are dedicated to providing guidance and products designed to help brokers and customers manage and control risk more effectively. We are delighted that we can offer these innovative products which compliment our existing risk management solutions and ensure we continue to be at the forefront of highlighting the importance of road safety."

Commenting on the partnership, Scott Raske, managing director, SmartDrive, said: "SmartDrive is pleased to be part of Allianz Commercial’s preferred supplier scheme. SmartDrive’s measured safety programme has proven to significantly reduce avoidable accident frequency in UK commercial fleets and we are confident that Allianz’s clients will benefit from our solution."

Gavin Thoday, sales manager, Vision Techniques, added: "At Vision Techniques we aim to provide all round excellence to our customers and are grateful for the opportunity to work with Allianz Commercial. We hope that our new relationship, with our extensive range of products, will offer Allianz customers increased value for money with the aim of reducing accident frequency."
