Delegation hoping to fact find on Autoline technology

? ON A MISSION: Autoline Insurance Group welcomed a delegation of Japanese researchers from Nomura Research Institute in Tokyo to its Newry headquarters yesterday. The delegation was on a fact-finding mission after reading an article about Autoline's innovative use of telematics technology to reduce the price of car insurance for young people. The team from the leading research consulting firm travelled from Tokyo and New York to find out more about how telematics works in practice with the view to seeing if a similar system could be rolled out in Japan.
