Lightweight vehicles with AHSS to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

27 Dec 2018 14:47 reported by Vicky Wang

A A A
According to a recent study by the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), the use of aluminum lightweight technology has led to an increase in overall greenhouse gas emissions over the decades, while the current lightweight technology of large-scale fleets has adopted Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated in production and during driving.

Jody N. Hall, the vice president of the automotive market for SMDI, pointed out that the lightweight body and closed piece of AHSS could instantly reduce the amount of gas emitted by vehicles and the refining of automotive steel.

According to the survey results, Mark Thimons, the vice president of sustainability for SMDI, said that by 2038, compared with aluminum, the lightweight technology using AHSS could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 300 million tons, equivalent to the pollution caused by the combustion of 45 billion gallons of gasoline. By 2053, an additional 100 million tons of gas emissions will be reduced, saving a total of more than 400 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
