In the future, alternative power systems for road vehicles will be essential. But weight is a major challenge for electric mobility. So, we need to make cars lighter. Our researchers have developed a new steel grade that is not only very strong, but also very stiff. With our help, car manufacturers will be able to reduce the weight of their vehicles by around 30 percent compared with conventional steel solutions
