Allianz UK commits to Electric Vehicle corporate fleet transition by 2030

Allianz UK is proud to announce a significant step towards its sustainability goals with a commitment to transition to an electric vehicle (EV) fleet by the end of 2030.

During 2025 Allianz UK has been trialling a new process for fleet vehicle orders which marks a pivotal move in Allianz’s journey towards reducing its carbon footprint. So far this year 160 new electric vehicles have been ordered, and are in progress, for Allianz’s UK fleet. This brings the overall new electric vehicle figure to 307, representing 28% of the total fleet.

To encourage a smooth transition and ensure that the vehicles available suit all employee needs, Allianz’s procurement team oversaw a programme including an employee panel to test drive vehicles and benchmark the EVs. They also tested adapted vehicles for drivers with different physical needs.

Allianz has also introduced a new driver app internally, available to all company drivers and their line managers. The app accurately records business mileage and allows Allianz to track car travel and emissions more efficiently.

The initiative is a crucial component of the Allianz UK’s sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce UK operations’ greenhouse gas emissions by 70% per employee by the end of 2030. In 2024 the company achieved a 47% greenhouse gas emissions reduction per employee based on a 2019 benchmark.

The commitment also aligns with the EV100 initiative, a global campaign that unites companies dedicated to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles.

Bethany Thomas, Head of Sustainability, Allianz UK, commented: “This move is an important one for us and underscores our commitment to sustainability, not only as an insurer but also as an employer. To support our customers across the country we need our employees on the road in vehicles fit for purpose that also align with our net-zero strategy. By driving towards a greener future we are being clear in our aims and taking action to achieve them.”
