> Global News Steel and the circular economy: building a better life for all In the first of a two-part series, Carl de Mare, head of technology strategy at ArcelorMittal, explains steel’s role in creating a low-carbon, circular economy that works for everyone. Meeting this epic challenge, he argues, is twofold: to support a sustainable improvement in living standards for everyone in the world by ‘banking’ a steel inventory we can draw from in perpetuity, while collaborating across industries to decarbonize the global economy.

Today, S-in motion solutions are available for pick-up trucks, mid-size sedans, SUVs and hybrid and electric vehicles. “ArcelorMittal recently finalized two S-in motion® projects dedicated to plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery packs for battery electric vehicles. These projects are being rolled out through collaborations with automotive partners and tier-one suppliers,” confirmed Jean-Luc Thirion, general manager, Global R&D. “On top of these projects, ArcelorMittal is developing dedicated holistic solutions for battery electric vehicles that will deploy in the second half of 2019.” Today, more than a dozen unique automotive steel solutions now live under the S-in motion® program. These solutions help achieve the weight reduction automakers need, at a lower cost and with less environmental impact than competing materials.
