Produced by Swedish steel company SSAB
Volvo has said it is increasing the use of low-CO2-emission steel in its trucks.
It was one of the first truck manufacturers to introduce this type of steel in its electric trucks in 2022. The use of low-CO2-emission steel will now include all drivelines.
The new steel is produced by the Swedish steel company SSAB and called SSAB Zero. It is made from recycled material and produced using fossil-free electricity and biogas.
As a result, CO2 is reduced by around 80% compared to the production of conventional steel using fossil energy.
Jan Hjelmgren, Senior Vice President Product Management and Quality, Volvo Trucks, said: “This is an additional step towards our zero emissions vision. Steel is one of the main materials in our trucks.”
The potential for lowering CO2 emissions is high as almost half of the truck consists of steel (47% of a Volvo FH diesel truck), and it represents about 44% of the CO2 emissions from the production (cradle to gate) out of the total 21 tons CO2 Equivalents for the Volvo FH diesel.
