This is partly because not all drivers own smartphones, and there's little sense in making a telematics solution dependent on another solution that a large percentage of drivers lack. text/html 2011-06-13T02:00:00+01:00 http://www.ebonus.org http://www.ebonus.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=66&Itemid=28 Usage-based insurance is still struggling to develop a market in France. Even though insurers often blame the cost of telematic devices for putting the brakes on the development of usage-based insurance in France, drivers, have also been reluctant to change their contracts, waiting for more attractive offers and incentives that won’t place too many constraints on their daily driving habits. To make usage-based insurance a real commercial success, therefore, a major effort to educate drivers is necessary. “ With our concept of Pripayd ebonus, we have shown that there’s a simple and efficient solution that respects individual freedom. By integrating our product into a Smartphone, we now hope to offer all drivers a fun and educational application that provides the added benefit of reducing their insurance premium.” text/html 2011-06-12T08:38:19+01:00 http://www.ebonus.org http://www.ebonus.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=30 Last week, at the fourth CISR (Interministerial Committee for Driving Safety), the government presented a new series of measures designed to reinforce road safety, which included a ban on radar detectors (http://www.01net.com/editorial/532674/les-avertisseurs-de-radars-declares-hors-la-loi/) as well as tougher sanctions for using mobile phones while driving. text/html 2008-06-25T01:00:00+01:00 http://www.ebonus.org http://www.ebonus.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=46 In France, the economic interest in PAYD is far from being obvious, considering the specificity of the automobile market. The average premiums being weak -along the lines of 400 euro per year- the possibilities are not the same as in Austria, Italy or the United Kingdom where the costs are 2 to 2.5 times higher estimated Laurent Tollié, CEO of Covéa Tech.In UK, according to a BBC report, Norwich Union has suspended its mileage-based insurance scheme less than two years after it was launched.Strategy Analytics analyst, Clare Hughes, said that prohibitive launch costs, privacy violations, back-office data integration and difficulties in measuring costs versus benefits would inhibit the immediate widespread launch of PAYD schemes. text/html 2008-04-21T01:00:00+01:00 http://www.ebonus.org http://www.ebonus.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=58&Itemid=49 The ACT Concepts Company research today its industrial and financial partners, in order to develop its e-bonus solution.
