\"Volvo\"<\/h4>\n

Volvo Cars have signed a new agreement with Swedish steel firm SSAB for the supply of \u2018high-quality, recycled and near zero-emissions steel\u2019 starting this year.<\/h4>\n

Volvo Cars says it is the first car maker to sign a supply agreement with SSAB for recycled steel for serial production deliveries.<\/p>\n

The agreement is an extension of a long-term existing collaboration between the two companies to be at the ‘forefront of the transition to more sustainable steel’.<\/p>\n

The recycled steel will be used in selected components of the forthcoming, fully electric EX60 SUV, as well as other cars based on Volvo Cars\u2019 next-generation SPA3 car architecture.<\/p>\n

Volvo Cars says the recycled steel meets the same safety-related requirements as primary steel in terms of strength and durability.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the biggest sources of CO\u2082 emissions in our production process is the steel we use to build our cars…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The car manufacturer has a target to use an average of 30% recycled content across its fleet by 2030 and for new car models released from 2030 to contain at least 35% recycled or bio-based content.<\/p>\n

Compared with traditionally produced steel in Europe, Volva Cars says SSAB\u2019s recycled steel generates \u2018almost 100% less CO\u2082 emissions\u2019 in its own operations and is made with almost 100% recycled content.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the deal, Francesca Gamboni, Volvo Cars\u2019 chief supply chain and manufacturing officer, said: \u201cOne of the biggest sources of CO\u2082 emissions in our production process is the steel we use to build our cars, averaging 25% of all material-related emissions for a new Volvo car.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy signing this agreement, we have taken an important step in reducing the impact on the environment and increasing the awareness for using recycled materials within our supplier network.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work towards achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, and cutting steel-related emissions really has the potential to move the needle.\u201d<\/p>\n
