Allianz Partners and Ford Credit Europe extend pan-European collaboration providing motor insurance for Ford customers.

Companies will continue to collaborate on innovative and new mobility solutions for Ford customers.

Allianz Partners, via its specialized automotive brand Allianz Automotive, and Ford Credit Europe (FCE) today announced that they have extended their motor insurance collaboration.

Both companies initiated the arrangement in 2013 to provide Ford customers with state-of-theart insurance solutions and have since collaborated in a number of markets, including Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

Together, Allianz and FCE will continue to develop and deliver joint innovation across insurance products, services and new mobility solutions. Additionally, the companies will work on other strategic projects with flexibility for individual markets to provide local solutions, considering specific market dynamics and customer requirements.

Claudius Leibfritz, Member of the Board of Management at Allianz Partners and CEO Automotive said: 'This marks a new era of strategic collaboration between FCE and Allianz, building upon the successful path we have already forged together. We will continue to work closely with Ford dealers to offer Ford customers innovative insurance products and services that meet their changing needs.' Matthew Hunt, Manager, European Insurance, FCE said: 'Allianz has collaborated with FCE across a number of European markets to deliver products and service that meet the high standards Ford customers and its dealer network demand. Furthering this experience and relationship in these challenging and fast-moving times, will help us serve the changing needs of customers as they adopt online purchasing, electric vehicles and new mobility solutions.'
