ArcelorMittal introduces new set of S-in motion solutions for BEVs

Green Car Congress

For example, ArcelorMittal offers AHSS products such as Usibor 2000 and Ductibor 1000 which are suitable for hot stamping, or Fortiform for cold stamping. As a result, there is much more energy to absorb in the event of a crash. This shows that there is more room for top AHSS products with best-in-class crash ductility and formability.

Lightweight electromobile with ROHACELL body crosses Australia almost exclusively on wind energy

Green Car Congress

The bodywork consists mainly of a carbon fiber composite with ROHACELL structural foam from Evonik Industries. When they built the electromobile, the duo opted for a sandwich structure of carbon-fiber fabric and a structural core of Evonik’s ROHACELL polymethacrylimide (PMI) rigid foam.
