Mobility
The Unipol Group’s strategic goals include strengthening its role as insurance leader and point of reference in terms of mobility, welfare and property needs by offering an ecosystem of skills and assets integrated at a Group level.
With this in mind, it is investing to expand its Mobility Ecosystem: within this system, difference forces interact to cover areas adjacent to the insurance core business, developing services in line with market demands while taking continuous technological, social and regulatory developments into account.
The Group can rely on prompt assistance, bodywork and glass repair services as well as a leadership position in telematics, distinctive features of its customer service, optimisation and innovation of settlement processes, and evolution of pricing models. The Ecosystem is expanding thanks to partnerships and acquisitions, with the aim of expanding the offer in areas such as long-term rentals and online sales platforms for used vehicles. The synergies in place have given life to an absolutely new and ambitious project for the Italian market, confirming the Unipol Group’s determination to drive the entire system that revolves around mobility and to play a leading role in this Ecosystem.
