Mercedes-Benz Goes All-In on Green Steel | designnews.com


As part of Mercedes’ ambitious climate protection goal “Ambition 2039” the company aims to at least halve the average CO₂ emissions per passenger car in the new vehicle fleet in 2023 compared to 2020. This accounts for CO₂ across the entire life cycle from raw material procurement, to use, and recycling. Additionally, it is the company’s goal to achieve a net carbon-neutral new car fleet by 2039.

To make the automotive industry more sustainable, Mercedes-Benz and its partners are working to decarbonize the steel supply chain,” said Gunnar Güthenke, Head of Procurement & Supplier Quality at Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The increased availability of green steel enables us to gradually introduce CO₂ reduced steel, and in a second step, to use almost CO₂-free steel in our vehicles, significantly helping to lower our carbon footprint."
