AXA XL, a global insurance and reinsurance provider, has announced a strategic partnership with Samsara, a connected operations platform pioneer, to bring advanced fleet safety and risk management capabilities to UK operators.
Through the tie-up, AXA XL will integrate Samsara’s platform into its suite of UK risk solutions, giving clients access to real-time visibility into fleet operations, vehicle health and driver behaviour. The collaboration is designed to support proactive risk reduction, improve operational efficiency and raise safety standards across fleets of varying sizes.
Samsara’s platform, known for its data analytics capabilities and accessibility, will enable AXA XL clients to make data-driven decisions aimed at improving fleet safety performance. The partnership also carries an environmental dimension, with the tools designed to help operators lower emissions and support more sustainable fleet management.
AXA XL head of motor underwriting, UK & Lloyd’s Poonam Jivram said, “Partnering with Samsara aligns perfectly with our vision to harness technology for better risk understanding and management, and we have seen its impact in reducing claims frequency and costs by 10-20%.
“With millions of lives affected each year by road traffic incidents, and transportation contributing roughly 25-30% of global carbon emissions, our goal is to equip clients with powerful tools that not only reduce collisions and downtime but also lower emissions and support environmentally responsible fleet operations.”
Samsara strategic partnerships and alliances Jack Burton said, “The insurance landscape is undergoing a structural shift, where underwriters are placing greater emphasis on verifiable safety data and active risk prevention.
“We are excited to collaborate with AXA XL to bring our AI-based technology to their clients across the UK. By integrating with AXA XL’s underwriting expertise, we are empowering organisations to move away from reactive claims handling to real-time risk mitigation. Together, we are providing the tools necessary to protect drivers, reduce emissions, and build more resilient physical operations.”
