June 2024
We have actively participated in two significant automotive industry events in June 2024, showcasing ArcelorMittal's latest innovations and sustainable solutions. Our presence at these events underscored our commitment to advancing automotive steel applications and contributing to the future of sustainable mobility.
ArcelorMittal was honoured to be part of the inaugural Car Body Parts: Materials and Forming Processes 2024 congress held in Bad Nauheim, Germany. This two-day event brought together an international network of expert automobile engineers, providing a platform for in-depth discussions on materials and production processes within the car body industry.
At the conference, we presented two key advancements that have significant implications for automotive manufacturing:

ArcelorMittal took part in the International Automotive Body Congress (IABC) in Turin, Italy, held on 5-6 June. Hosted at the prestigious MAUTO - Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, the conference attracted key players from the automotive industry, including carmakers, material producers, and toolmakers.
The conference presentations focused on the pivotal role of steel in sustainable mobility and included insights from Stellantis and other industry leaders. ArcelorMittal's Olivier Hudin presented a keynote presentation about "Reducing Complexity and Carbon Footprint in Electrification", about the groundbreaking steel advancements aimed at reducing complexity and the carbon footprint of Electric Vehicles (EVs) which were clearly at the centre of attention at this conference. In addition, our colleague Jesse Paegle was co-sharing a session with Antonio Mara from Stellantis about the future materials of EV vehicles, and Ricardo also presented the Steel E-Motive project.
At both events, our stands featured a variety of innovative steel solutions for battery packs, chassis, and body-in-white, showcasing our dedication to simplifying vehicle design and enhancing efficiency. Key exhibits included Multi Part Integration (MPI) parts such as the Double Door Ring, H-frame, and the brand-new Dash Panel Laser Welded Blank solution. These solutions demonstrate ways to reduce the number of parts in vehicle design, improving overall efficiency and sustainability.
The exhibits attracted considerable attention and sparked engaging discussions about the future of automotive materials and production processes. Our innovative solutions highlighted our commitment to advancing the automotive industry through cutting-edge steel applications and sustainable practices.
Advancements in steel solutions for battery protection
Earlier this year we presented at the Battery Systems Conference in Bad Nauheim (Germany), organised by Automotive Circle. At this occasion, we were honoured to co-present with Tarek Krim from ArcelorMittal Global R&D and Robert Fell from Pfinder KG (see picture). Their presentation was entitled "Innovative Coating Solutions for Enhanced Vehicle Electrification: A Collaborative Breakthrough".
The right-hand picture below shows our brand-new battery shield display, featuring corrosion test samples, showcasing the remarkable benefits of our collaborative steel solution for battery protection. The audience showed keen interest in how our innovative coatings can enhance vehicle electrification. We are proud to be at the forefront of driving sustainable mobility solutions.
Steel as the sustainable material of choice for automotive
ArcelorMittal's active participation in these events not only showcased our latest innovations but also reinforced our position as a leader in automotive steel solutions. By continuously pushing the boundaries of material science and sustainable practices, we are committed to shaping the future of the automotive industry. We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and drive innovation in this dynamic field.
