Anticipating increased demand for highly specialized engineers in the near future, Allianz’s network of dedicated manufacturer technicians—along with its fleet of multi-technicians and with the support of nine British OEMs—are working to achieve a Level 4 accreditation in electric, hybrid, and PHEV vehicles, with the Institute of Motor Industry (IMI) serving as the awarding body.
