ArcelorMittal is committed to EV. The Luxembourg-based steel company recently announced a collaboration to provide its steel knowledge to Atlis Motor Vehicles.
ArcelorMittal will provide its S-in motion® solutions to hasten the design process. Currently, Atlis is developing a fully electric truck that will be designed for individuals working in the agriculture, service, utilities, and construction industries. According to ArcelorMittal, the S-in motion® solutions are used to make lighter cars at a more affordable cost.
“S-in motion® is a set of steel solutions developed by ArcelorMittal for carmakers who wish to create lighter, safer and more environmentally friendly vehicles,” ArcelorMittal said on its website. The solutions include closures, chassis parts, seats, and battery packs.
As many manufacturers seek to move towards a carbon-neutral approach, Atlis is racing to meet forthcoming demands for EVs. “This is the latest example of how we source key technology and materials from strategic suppliers to meet the demanding performance characteristics needed in emissions-free electric work trucks,” said Mark Hanchett, CEO of Atlis Motor Vehicles.
“This agreement is part of our larger commitment to the path to net zero, and our innovation in steel solutions will now help with the transition to a BEV fleet,” said Greg Ludkovsky, vice president of global research and development for ArcelorMittal.
