Automotive manufacturing is on a long journey towards sustainability. Steel remains the dominant material utilised in automotive manufacturing but traditional steel production is a highly energy intensive process. Therefore, one of the major challenges in decarbonising automotive manufacturing is developing sustainable steel production processes.
To better understand the key challenges and opportunities associated with adopting sustainable steel in automotive manufacturing, AMS partnered with leading sustainable steel supplier SSAB to conduct the Sustainable Steel Manufacturing Survey 2024. As well as focusing on the immediate challenges in adopting sustainable steel faced by OEMs, tier suppliers, and other stakeholders within the automotive supply chain, the survey also explored a range of other factors including manufacturing processes, sustainability initiatives and recycling.
Survey Highlights:
-
Over 200 responses, including 50% from OEMs and Tier Suppliers.
-
Reducing carbon footprints is a priority for 48% of respondents, with significant focus also on recycling and complying with environmental regulations.
-
While 46% have set recycled content targets, more than half have yet to establish any, indicating significant potential for growth in recycling initiatives.
