TVM Belgium offers zero emissions insurance

Many companies are investing in and experimenting with alternative-fuel trucks. The advance of zero-emission trucks and vans not only brings operational challenges, but also specific insurance concerns. The zero-emission insurance from TVM Belgium, a specialist in transport insurance, ensures that you can be on the road with peace of mind even with the e-truck.

Why do we offer this insurance? 

With the Green Deal, the EU wants to be climate neutral by 2050. There are numerous European, Belgian and Flemish measures to achieve this. More and more companies are gradually switching over their fleets. 

By offering appropriate insurance products and supplementary services, TVM wants to continue to unburden its customers as much as possible, even in this changing transport landscape. Jan van Waterschoot, commercial director TVM Belgium: "The energy transition requires substantial investments and is complex. As a committed insurer, TVM supports its customers in this transition. With our Zero-Emissions Insurance, TVM removes barriers in the transition to zero-emission transport." 

What does the insurance cover? 

 Zero-emission insurance is an extension to the Truck, Light Truck, Commercial Vehicle and Work Equipment policies and takes into account the additional risks that a zero-emission vehicle poses. Consider, for example, the fire risk: the intensity is much higher than for a conventional vehicle and the fire lasts much longer. Thanks to Zero-Emissions insurance, the extra investment such a vehicle requires is protected.  

Features of zero emissions insurance 

• 12 months purchase value reimbursement in the event of damage
  For new vehicles, with an insured amount higher or equal to the list value at purchase, we reimburse 100% of the insured amount for the first year in case of total loss. Is the replacement value higher than the insured value? Then we even reimburse up to 110% in the first year.
  
• Purchase subsidies can be co-insured
  This will prevent you from having to repay a subsidy yourself or running out of money when a vehicle is replaced. Make sure this subsidy is included in the insured value.
  
• Compensation for damage due to inherent defect in the drive train
  We compensate for consequential damage from an inherent defect and the inherent defect itself to the drive (e.g., electric motor, hydrogen tank or batteries).  
  
• Specialized breakdown recovery and expert damage repair
  
• Comprehensive coverage for batteries, even if rented
  
• Charging cables are standard co-insured, even while charging

All the benefits of our existing insurance policies 

In the event of an accident involving your truck or van, you will receive unlimited reimbursement for depot and repatriation costs. We reimburse damages in the event of a collision between your own vehicles, even if it occurred on your own property. In addition, you will receive assistance if you or your driver abroad
falls ill or has an accident.
