Volvo Cars uses SSAB Zero Steel material in the production of its electric SUV.
The automaker is aiming to increase production of the all-electric vehicle, known as the EX60, in 2026 amid strong consumer demand in Sweden and other key markets such as Germany, according to the automaker's Kallanish.
According to SSAB, the agreement signed last year made Volvo the first automaker to commit to using decarbonized steel in mass production.
Although Volvo is currently taking orders for this car only in Europe, it hopes to open a portfolio of orders in the United States later in the spring.
Volvo Cars is currently planning to increase production of the EX60 model at its plant in Thorsland, Sweden. The company is currently in dialogue with the relevant trade unions in order to extend the operation of the Thorsland plant for one additional week in the summer. It is noted that this will be the first case in the company's history.
