Achmea is the first Dutch insurer to join Partners For Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE). This is an international coalition of partners from, among others, the car industry, technology industry, non-profit sector and science.

All partners have one common ambition: to inform policymakers and the public about the various possibilities and advantages of self-driving vehicles. These advantages lie in the area of ​​increased safety, mobility and sustainability. The aim of PAVE is purely educational and informative. The coalition does not advocate a particular technology or a specific policy.

Embracing new developments

Karin Bos, director of Personal Damage at Achmea:

“Smart technology is increasingly found in cars. This technology helps to reduce risks and increase road safety. In order to realize this, it is first of all necessary to share knowledge. In addition, motorists must, for example, learn how to optimally apply smart technology in cars. Achmea would like to help shape such new developments in the field of mobility and safety, so that our customers can embrace them without any worries. ”

PAVE helps to increase the general understanding by:

  • using an educational website and social media;
  • demonstrations where the public can see and experience driverless technology;
  •  educational toolkits for car dealers to help inform their customers about driverless technology;
  •  workshops for policymakers to provide them with insights into driverless technology.

Achmea is the cooperative parent company of well-known insurers, such as Centraal Beheer, Interpolis and Zilveren Kruis. Together they form the largest insurance group in the Netherlands. Achmea's customers contributed approximately € 2018 billion in premium money in 20. Achmea is the market leader in the field of non-life and health insurance in the Netherlands. It also offers income insurance and, with the Centraal Beheer APF, a good income for later.

The asset manager Achmea Investment Management has over 129 billion euros in assets under management. In addition to the Netherlands, Achmea is also active internationally in five other countries. Achmea has over 14.000 employees and its head office is in Zeist.
