The FISITA Insurance Cluster issues its first Paper on ‘The role of insurance in the adoption of Autonomous Vehicles, EVs and FCVs’, in English and Japanese version.

For the first time in FISITA’s history we are very pleased to offer technical content to our membership community in different languages!

This Paper includes some fascinating insights into the challenges and opportunities around the role of insurance in AVs, EVs and FCVs, from a group of technologists comprising vehicle manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers, participating in the FISITA Insurance cluster in Japan.

This Paper summarises the results of the discussion which looked at the following:

• How to position insurance ahead of the broad adoption of AVs, EVs and FCVs

• The role of non-life insurance

• Insurance products and services when MaaS achieves broad adoption

Background

The FISITA Industry Committee, consisting of senior representatives from the FISITA Corporate Membership, have identified key technology areas (see right for some of these areas) in which knowledge sharing and discussion can help highlight and potentially accelerate the adoption of new solutions by the mainstream automotive industry.

FISITA is creating dedicated Technology Clusters around each of these areas that determine their own scope, meeting cadence and target deliverables. Last year, the Insurance Cluster was created in Japan, and the group have been working together, under the leadership of Toyota and Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance to produce this technical knowledge share, for the benefit of the international connected community of FISITA.
