Swedish specialty steel producer SSAB has announced that Sweden-based Volvo Trucks will introduce SSAB fossil-free steel in its trucks.
The first steel will be used in heavy electric truck frame rails in the third quarter of 2022. As the availability of fossil-free steel increases, it will also be introduced in other parts of the truck.
In August last year, SSAB delivered the world’s first fossil-free steel to Volvo Group, as SteelOrbis previously reported.
According to the statement, SSAB aims to supply the market with fossil-free steel at a commercial scale in 2026 and plans to largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from its own operations in around 2030.
