The commitment of the voestalpine Group is uncompromised sustainability. For example, the phs-scalefree® innovation is the first zinc-coated steel with strengths of up to 2000 MPa and ensures lower wall thicknesses thanks to its high strength. This results in lighter vehicles, lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions. The flat steel product portfolio is completely available in the greentec Steel Edition with a reduced carbon footprint. In addition to lightweight automotive design, mega-trends such as decarbonization, e-mobility and digitalization are also high on the list, always with the objective of creating a greener future for generations to come.
The many years of success in working with the best manufacturers in the automotive industry confirm our path and provide voestalpine with an incentive for new directions and groundbreaking innovations. The cross-divisional goal of lightweight automotive design is clearly defined: stronger, lighter and more corrosion-resistant materials with even more economical and flexible production.
