Howden Driving Data, a telematics provider and part of global insurance group, Howden, has renewed its partnership with ANWB (Royal Dutch Tourist Club).
Under the terms of this partnership, Howden Driving Data will provide the technology behind Drive Safe, ANWB’s telematics-based pay-as-you-drive insurance product, which enables its customers to access insurance premiums that accurately reflect their individual risk profiles.
At the same time, it also empowers policyholders to become safer drivers through personalised feedback, coaching, and intervention.
Moreover, ANWB also looks to continue to benefit from detailed data on the Dutch road network from Howden Driving Data’s Telematics App and Smart Beacon solution, which has provided billions of miles’ worth of driving data from ANWB’s 75,000 active policyholders.
The data has played a pivotal role in assisting local authorities towards understanding road network usage, as well as identifying high-risk areas, which heavily aligns with the company’s goal of achieving zero traffic casualties by 2050.
Interestingly, by 2022, the number of road authorities benefiting from the service had more than doubled to 190, representing over 50% of all road authorities in the Netherlands.
Menno Mimpen, Senior Product Owner Data & Road Safety, ANWB, said: “Our partnership with Howden Driving Data has enabled ANWB to offer a range of data-driven services to local governments that will ultimately improve road safety and save lives. We will continue to develop further products with Howden Driving Data to improve driving behaviour, which we anticipate will result in fewer traffic casualties.”
Jon Law, Managing Director of Howden Driving Data, added: “ANWB is a forward-thinking and innovative organisation, and we feel privileged to be part of a solution that focuses on improving road safety. Having worked with ANWB for the past seven years, and through extending the partnership for a further five years, we look forward to supporting ANWB over the long-term and we remain excited for what the future holds.”
