Case study

Ethias x Linkbycar:
prevention built on manufacturer data

Filmed together with Ethias, Belgium's leading public-sector insurer.

Ethias insures fleets across Belgium's companies and public sector. Prevention only works if it reaches the vehicles, and fitting a telematics box in every company vehicle is too heavy to roll out. Since 2024, Ethias entities have been using Linkbycar to connect vehicles through the connectivity car makers already build in: no hardware, no downtime, and the same data format whatever the brand.

2024

A leasing fleet, connected without a single box

Ethias Lease connects its multi-brand fleet through the connectivity built into the vehicles: end-of-lease mileage, vehicle status, and fleet reporting, with no box fitted and no vehicle immobilized for fitting.

2025

From data to prevention

Monthly fleet data reports, driver safety indicators, and stolen-vehicle recoveries. The scope grows from leasing into the group's prevention work: claims teams and loss-prevention engineers use the same data, vehicle by vehicle.

2026

A group pilot, and a film

Ethias and Linkbycar sign a new group pilot and film their work together. The film on this page shows the fleets, the recoveries and the decisions, told by both teams.
