Driving Smarter, Safer Fleets: Our Strategic Partnership with Allianz UK

At Samsara, our mission is to increase the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of motor fleet  operators that help keep our economy moving. In my role leading strategic partnerships across EMEA, I see first-hand how powerful it can be when we collaborate with industry leaders to unlock the full benefits of connected operations. That’s why I’m particularly proud to share the news of our deepened strategic partnership with Allianz UK. This foundation has set the stage for an even stronger collaboration. Today, we are formalising and expanding that relationship. Through a new referral programme, Allianz UK fleet customers can also benefit from exclusive discounts on our award-winning AI dual-facing dash cams and Connected Operations® Platform.

Proactive Risk Management

Together with Allianz UK, we want to move the focus to proactive risk management. By combining Allianz’s insurance expertise with Samsara’s advanced AI and IoT technology, fleets now have the tools to proactively identify risks and address them before accidents can happen.

As Gerry Ross, Head of Commercial Motor at Allianz UK, put it: "By working closely with Samsara, we can leverage cutting-edge technology that provides real-time data and analytics. This helps our customers to proactively identify and mitigate risks, and benefit from enhanced safety, efficiency, and peace of mind."

Delivering Tangible Results for Customers

This isn’t just theory, it’s already happening, Customers such Vp Brandon Hire Station are seeing measurable results.

Antony Draper, Director of HSEQ at Vp Brandon Hire Station, told us: “Implementing the Samsara platform has been a game-changer for our fleet’s safety and efficiency. We’ve seen a 40% reduction in accident-related costs. With trusted data from Samsara, our proactive approach to safety and risk management is delivering tangible financial benefits—and Allianz UK recognises the value of this progress.”

With Samsara, fleets can:

• Improve Safety: Use AI-powered incident detection and real-time in-cab coaching to proactively reduce risky driving behaviours.

• Boost Efficiency: Plan routes to optimise fuel consumption, and streamline workflows to lower operational costs.

• Enhance Sustainability: Track emissions and support the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).

Building for the Future

For me, our strategic partnership with Allianz UK represents a major milestone in how risks can be managed across UK fleets. It demonstrates what is possible when technology and insurance expertise come together to deliver real value.

Looking ahead, I am excited about what this means for our customers. Together, we are helping fleets make smarter, more proactive decisions that protect their assets, improve safety, and deliver meaningful returns on investment. Most importantly, we are giving them the tools and insights to succeed in a rapidly evolving landscape.
