Futurising podcast: The future of mobility by Brian Aranha

ArcelorMittal has launched a new group website, developed around the company’s purpose of ‘Inventing smarter steels for a better world’. The site showcases the role that steel can play in a future low-carbon, circular economy; outlines how ArcelorMittal is embracing technology developments to address trends that will shape the future; and demonstrates the critical role ArcelorMittal’s products and solutions play in supporting societal transformation, including future mobility.

A central pillar of the new website is its Smarter future section, which explores the future of steel and its role in a changing world. It includes four episodes from the first season of a new podcast series, Futurising’which features ArcelorMittal experts in conversation with a futurologist.

In the first podcast Brian Aranha, Head of strategy, CTO, R&D, CCM, global automotive, communications and corporate responsibility, talks to futurologist Tom Cheesewright about how mobility might be different in the future.

About the corporate website

While this automotive website remains your go-to website for all automotive and mobility related ArcelorMittal information, the corporate website contains case studies which outline how ArcelorMittal is embracing the latest technological trends and applying them across its business to deliver efficiency and environmental improvements.
Examples include:

  • How we are looking at all possible technology pathways to reduce our carbon footprint.
  • How steels are supporting the global energy transition.
  • How ArcelorMittal is making significant investments in resources, time and management attention to understand how it can take advantage of Industry 4.0, and use data and analytics to create value for its customers and to improve its performance.
  • How ArcelorMittal’s global R&D team has developed a potato-based, biodegradable dust suppressant, applied as foam, which can reduce secondary sinter dust emissions by more than 80%.
  • How artificial intelligence algorithms inspired by the path-finding behaviour of ant colonies in the wild has helped to improve production line scheduling, delivering cost, productivity and quality improvements.

The website also features a Making Steel infographic which outlines the entire steelmaking journey, from mining to ironmaking through to the use of steel in modern life. It also hosts a Corporate library which includes ArcelorMittal’s reporting hub and houses its policies and procedures.
