Mercedes-Benz signed a supply agreement with Swedish start-up H2 Green Steel (H2GS) over approximately 50,000 tonnes almost CO\u2082-free steel per year for its European press shops and deepened its partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim to establish a sustainable steel supply chain in North America.
After taking an equity stake in H2GS in 2021, the new supply agreement enables Mercedes-Benz to bring almost CO\u2082-free steel into series production. The partner plans to start its production during 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of a broader effort to decarbonise the supply chain, Mercedes-Benz and H2GS agreed to establish a supply chain for green steel produced in North America for local Mercedes-Benz manufacturing plants. Extending the strategic partnership with H2GS to North America marks another important milestone in increasingly pursuing the strategy of procuring close to Mercedes-Benz production sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the supply deal of around 50,000 tonnes almost CO\u2082-free steel from H2 Green Steel for our manufacturing plants in Europe, Mercedes-Benz and H2 Green Steel are accelerating the creation of a decarbonised, regional and resilient steel supply chain. At the same time, we are taking our partnership to the next level with the aim of establishing a sustainable steel supply chain in North America, another important step towards making the auto industry more resilient and sustainable<\/em>,\u201d said <\/em>Markus Sch\u00e4fer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
