Steel is essential for mobility. You’ll find it in cars, trains, buses, bicycles and more. It also plays a key role in electric vehicles and future sustainable transport solutions, such as the Hyperloop. High-quality steel makes vehicles lighter, more energy-efficient and more sustainable.
At least 50% of a petrol car’s weight comes from steel — a material found throughout the vehicle. Steel is indispensable to the automotive industry and is used in nearly every part of a car: from bodywork, chassis and exterior panels to batteries and electric motors. Over 97% of high-grade automotive steel is recycled, making it a truly circular material.

In the future, steel will become even more important to our mobility. Why? Because the future of mobility is electric — and steel plays a crucial role in making it happen.

Steel isn’t just on the outside of an (electric) car — it also plays a vital role on the inside, particularly in the electric motor. This motor is the heart of every electric vehicle.
“Driving electric: further, safer and more affordable thanks to steel innovation”
Steel plays a key role in the future of mobility, with the Hyperloop as a revolutionary leap towards sustainable transport. This groundbreaking technology promises to completely transform the way we travel. Tata Steel is making a major contribution by developing specially designed steel for the Hyperloop tubes.

Trains and railways rely on steel. From the durable rails to the construction of the trains themselves, steel is essential for the sustainable and reliable transport of people and goods.
