The future is in our hands
With its characteristics and as a material of the future, steel has a starting advantage. We are working with our sustainable innovations and measures to ensure that everything is in the green zone for our world and the mobility of tomorrow.
ultralights for weight savings and lower emission levels
The components made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength ultralight steels save weight and volume. Compared to components made of conventional steels, they can lead to thinner components with the same crash performance. Less weight saves fuel, reduces emissions and electrical energy and protects the environment.
Sustainable material of the future
In its production, steel is already more environmentally friendly than other materials. In addition, steel is always 100% recyclable without loss of quality. This means that a new lifecycle begins for steel in a vehicle that has reached the end of its service life after many years.
ultra-sustainable: greentec steel
voestalpine has always set high goals in terms of sustainability. Steel production with net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is our declared goal, but it is important to note that the production route at the Linz site has already been optimized for carbon-reduced steel production. As a customer, you can also select the high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels of the ultralights portfolio in the greentec steel Edition. greentec steel is the premium quality that you have come to expect, but with a reduced carbon footprint.
