ArcelorMittal explores and exploits the unique properties of steel like no one else! That’s why automakers are inviting us to help them create the safer, lighter, cleaner vehicles of tomorrow. We hit targets for weight reduction without ever compromising on safety, style, or affordability. And with the lowest-possible carbon footprint and cost.
We are constantly developing new steel products, solutions, and design partnerships. We are constantly discovering new ways to give our automotive customers creative freedom and consumer appeal.
ArcelorMittal is constantly developing the next generation of advanced steels to serve the global automotive sector. Our researching reach, product portfolio and expertise make us the undisputed technology leader for automotive.
Around 600 engineers and technician develop new steels, improve the in-use properties of steel, conceive breakthrough products & solutions and provide technical support services for customers. ArcelorMittal operates six Global R&D sites around the world dedicated to exploring new steel solutions for automotive.
ArcelorMittal’s automotive research covers all fields required by the automotive industry including:
We also develop innovative electrical iCARe® steels that bring significant performance improvements to the core of the electric motors, extending the driving range while boosting efficiency and acceleration. Our Smart Steel solutions for the battery protection, chassis and body-in-white applications of battery electric vehicles are the latest extension of our S-in motion® range of lightweight solutions.
All product innovations are supported by ArcelorMittal’s high-level process experts.

In a rapidly evolving automotive industry, flexibility wins. ArcelorMittal Multi Part Integration® (MPI) maximises automotive manufacturers’ ability to adapt through the power of less: less parts, less process, less floor space, less time, less materials, less CO2 and less assembly cost.
Harness the strength of steel and the power of less.
For the past four years, ArcelorMittal's XCarb® initiative has been shaping the future of sustainable steel in the automotive industry. Through pioneering advancements and strategic collaborations, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel has played a critical role in reducing the carbon footprint of vehicles while maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance.
To prove the validity of the MPI concept, teams from ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks and ArcelorMittal Global R&D have developed a new LWB H-Frame solution for the rear of an SUV vehicle. The S-in motion® SUV was used as the basis for the design.
Press hardenable steels (PHS) offer ultra high strength and the ability to be formed into complex shapes. This makes them ideal for hot stamping processes and enables OEMs to achieve excellent weight reductions across the vehicle.
ArcelorMittal is transforming the auto industry from the inside out. ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company, is continually developing lightweight steel solutions that make vehicles lighter, safer and more sustainable.
ArcelorMittal is proud to spotlight its collaboration with Renault, and its contribution to the innovative Renault Emblème project, a demo car designed to meet the challenges of low-carbon mobility. This collaboration demonstrates how the automotive and steel industries can unite to achieve ambitious decarbonisation goals, showcasing a reduction of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional steelmaking by as much as 69%.
Video: ArcelorMittal and TRUMPF collaborate to revolutionise automotive manufacturing with precise laser-cutting technology. This partnership combines ArcelorMittal’s expertise in advanced automotive steel with TRUMPF’s cutting-edge laser technology, enabling the precise shaping of laser-welded, hot-stamped MPI parts for modern vehicle design.
Zagnelis® coatings have been specially designed to add a stage in vehicle corrosion protection, while meeting vehicle manufacturers' specifications: drawing, welding properties etc. In particular, they offer corrosion resistance far superior to that provided by traditional zinc-based coatings. The presence of magnesium in the coating promotes the formation of compact corrosion products highly stable over time, thereby substantially reducing coating consumption dynamics and enhancing edge protection.
Zagnelis® coatings also offer excellent drawability performance due to outstanding tribological properties for a zinc-based coating.
ArcelorMittal has once again been recognised by CDP for its strong performance in corporate transparency and action on climate change. ArcelorMittal successfully retained its A- score in the 2020 CDP Climate Change assessment, putting the company within the top quartile of all metal smelting, refining and forming companies and the top 10% of the steel industry.
ArcelorMittal has been working with automakers for years to co-engineer steel solutions that address safety, strength and fuel economy concerns in the most cost-effective way. ArcelorMittal offers an array of lightweight steel solutions and has seen tremendous growth and evolution of its door ring solution, co-engineered with Honda R&D Americas.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an essential tool to evaluate the environmental performance of a material. By using LCA, the environmental impact of different materials can be compared.
For the transition to electric vehicles to be fully successful, carmakers must increase efforts to extend range, reduce cost, and enhance safety. A new S-in motion® study from ArcelorMittal reveals that advanced high strength steels (AHSS) solutions are the best choice to achieve this revolution in mobility at an affordable cost. The first part of this study focuses on battery pack solutions.
