According to Gestamp, this agreement represents a new step in the long-standing partnership with SSAB, which includes several actions addressing all aspects of the development chain, from sales to production and testing of steel products.
Javier Imaz, Gestamp purchasing manager, said: "This partnership will further strengthen our position in the development of innovatively designed and sustainable automotive parts for increasingly safer and lighter vehicles, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. This agreement reinforces Gestamp's ESG strategy on the circular economy, which Gestamp is implementing across its entire business model."
SSAB plans to offer fossil-free steel to the market on a commercial scale in 2026 and to largely eliminate CO2 emissions from its operations by 2030. Coking coal will be replaced by renewable electricity and hydrogen in the steelmaking process.
