a multidisciplinary team of researchers, mobile and backend developers, physicists and data scientists aligned on a common objective : to understand driving behaviours to improve road safety and reduce the environmental impact of mobility.
Over the past decade, mobility has been undergoing radical changes, including the electrification of vehicles, the end of the single ownership model, the emergence of shared and green mobility, and the rise of connectivity across all modes of transport.
This revolution is affecting the entire mobility ecosystem and is forcing insurance companies to adapt their business model to these new realities. Indeed, the insurance industry is deeply impacted by the growing need for more connectivity and data, to enable more accurate underwriting and large-scale prevention initiatives. This has led to new car insurance products such as behavioural-based insurance (Pay-How-You-Drive) and usage-based insurance (Pay-As-You-Drive) programs.
In this challenging environment, DriveQuant’s mission is to describe and quantify all forms of mobility in order to make roads safer and reduce the environmental footprint of mobility.
To achieve its goal, DriveQuant has developed a universal SaaS solution that uses the smartphone’s sensors to analyse driving behaviour. The algorithms analyse real-time data collected by mobile sensors and calculate the safety and environmental impact for every trip.
This information is then transparently returned to the driver to make them aware of the quality of their driving and the opportunities for improvement.
DriveQuant’s team believes that by empowering and coaching drivers, a radical change in road safety is within reach.

Operational excellence
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. We partner with our clients to help them ensure the success of their projects.
Transparency
Customers: We believe that our customers must understand the fundamentals of our technology. For this reason, we have open-sourced our demo application and graphical libraries on GitHub. Plus, all the data we collect and analyze is shared with our customers only.
Users: We want our end-users to understand the scores they received and their room for improvement.
HR: Our management is also transparent. We organize regular meetings with the Team to keep it informed of the financial health of the company. We also frequently exchange with members of the Team on the quality of their work and their evolution at DriveQuant.
Ethic
Launched in 2017, our solution has been designed according to the principles of data privacy by design and is 100% compliant with the GDPR. We are fully transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. Plus, we made the choice to base our entire cloud infrastructure in Europe (at OVH) to strengthen the trust between us, our customers and users. We put trust at the heart of our relationship with our end users and our success depends on it. We are therefore very keen to preserve it.
