Cybit, the UK's leading online telematics service provider, has announced a major three-year strategic partnership agreement with Norwich Union. This development builds on the success of a series of collaborative risk management initiatives between the two companies over the last three years and, more recently, a 12-month pilot involving a number of Norwich Union's customers with Cybit telematics equipment fitted to their vehicles. Under the new strategic partnership agreement, Cybit will provide the core telematics technology for Norwich Union's 'Fleet Telematics' solution - the industry's only telematics-enabled fleet insurance product.

- can take advantage of Norwich Union's unique fleet insurance offering, which features:

"As the largest fleet insurer in the UK, we have used our experience and understanding of the fleet market, and the environment fleet operators currently work in, to design this market-leading product. What makes this product unique is its combination of vehicle usage data and a fleet's individual claims information. This means that we will be able to offer truly bespoke and relevant risk management advice, specific to the fleet in question to help them manage their occupational road risks," commented Mark Keavney, Norwich Union's Commercial Motor Product Manager.
"Signing a three year strategic partnership agreement with the UK's leading fleet insurance provider is a major achievement for Cybit, and a strong endorsement of our Fleetstar-Online telematics solution," added Richard Horsman, Cybit's Chief Executive Officer. "With our new modular Fleetstar-Online solution we've significantly lowered the cost of telematics for Norwich Union's UK fleet customers, with initial entry-level costs from as little as 20 per vehicle per month.
