UK automotive manufacturers are delaying investments due to possible changes in the government's Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate, slowing the expected transition to electric vehicles (EVs). This uncertainty affects insurers' claims profiles, repair costs, underwriting, and the timeline for autonomous vehicle deployment.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Insurtech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Insurers in the UK face a longer transition as electric vehicle targets may be relaxed, giving you more time to adapt underwriting and risk models before fully electric fleets arrive. You can accelerate preparations now by refining data on mixed EV and conventional vehicle claims to stay ahead of uncertain policy changes.
