Milliman teamed up with Azuga, a leading provider of connected vehicle and fleet technology, to study how fleet driving behavior coupled with actual accident data can lead to predictive models for commercial auto insurers. Using 1.5 billion miles of Azuga commercial auto driving data and 5,700 accident reports, Milliman modeled the indicators of crash frequency and created a risk index to help insurers, MGAs, and start-ups in the commercial auto space price risk better.
“Commercial auto insurers have faced years of worsening combined ratios, and with this product we strongly feel that we can guide insurers to assess and price risk more accurately,” said Peggy Brinkmann, a principal at Milliman and co-developer of AccuRate Fleet. “There’s an opportunity here for those in the commercial auto space to use existing and widely accepted technology and optimize their risk pools quickly.”

For more information, Milliman will be hosting a panel with Azuga on October 20 from 3:00pm – 3:45pm ET at InsureTech Connect 2020. Topics covered will include bringing new fleet products to market quickly and how to employ usage-based insurance (UBI) to improve fleet profitability.
“Commercial auto has become an increasingly challenging market for building a profitable customer base and insurers can’t simply keep raising rates,” said Ananth Rani, co-founder and CEO of Azuga. “Azuga Fleet telematics has demonstrated significant reductions in accident frequency and severity at scale. The AccuRate Fleet score from Milliman further cements our leadership in delivering results both to the insured fleets and now the insurance carriers.”
