Commercial vehicle insurance is a type of policy specifically designed to cover vehicles used for business purposes, providing protection against various risks such as accidents, theft, natural disasters, and third-party liabilities. It is essential for businesses to protect their transportation assets, ensure operational continuity, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
The main types of coverage in commercial vehicle insurance include liability coverage, physical damage coverage, medical payments coverage, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and others. Liability coverage protects the policyholder from financial responsibility for bodily injuries or property damage caused to others in an at-fault accident. This coverage applies to various vehicle categories such as light commercial vehicles (LCVs), heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), electric commercial vehicles, refrigerated trucks, and specialized vehicles. Distribution channels typically include agents or brokers, direct response, and others. The primary end users are individual owners, fleet operators, logistics companies, and public transport providers.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the financial sector, particularly in investment strategies and risk management. Heightened tariffs have fueled market volatility, prompting cautious behavior among institutional investors and increasing demand for hedging instruments. Banks and asset managers are facing higher costs associated with cross-border transactions, as tariffs disrupt global supply chains and dampen corporate earnings, key drivers of equity market performance. Insurance companies, meanwhile, are grappling with increased claims risks tied to supply chain disruptions and trade-related business losses. Additionally, reduced consumer spending and weakened export demand are constraining credit growth and investment appetite. The sector must now prioritize diversification, digital transformation, and robust scenario planning to navigate the heightened economic uncertainty and protect profitability.
