Allianz and Ford to offer mobility concepts

Allianz and Ford will pool their experience to develop mobility concepts, which will be delivered via the Ford Trade Organization to the brand’s customers, together.

An already established project team, consisting of specialists and engineers from Ford and the Allianz Centre for Technology (AZT), have already begun working together.

Topics such as connected driving, driver assistance systems or e-mobility are being jointly analysed. Advanced technologies and their impact on vehicle damage and causes of damage are being tested and analysed together in order to improve the safety of Ford vehicles and to optimise insurance coverage.

The decision for a pan-European cooperation between Allianz and Ford emphasises that safe mobility is of great relevance for the automotive industry.

“The new cooperation is another crucial and logical step on Allianz’ journey as a strategic partner of the automotive industry. Allianz and Ford have the common goal to significantly increase the European business relationship interaction within the framework of the European cooperation with the Ford dealers over the next five years,” said Karsten Crede, CEO of Allianz Global Automotive. “Together with Allianz, Ford clients in the dealership will receive a modular product offer and competent and consistent advice in all mobility matters.”

Bernhard Mattes, chairman of the board of Ford-Werke GmbH and vice president FCSD at Ford of Europe said: “With this cooperation we have the opportunity to meet the demands of our customers to get everything at a single point of sale: A Ford vehicle plus a variety of customized mobility solutions. Together with Allianz we are keeping our promise to always ‘Go Further’. We are working on innovative solutions for future mobility today.”
