STEEL
SERIOUS
ABOUT
Automakers continue to use the material to make vehicles that
are strong, safe, light and affordable. Here's a look at some of
the recent uses of steel.
Although there is a lot of discussion of aluminum and even
composites for vehicle manufacturing, make no mistake: steel
is still the choice for the production of many vehicles. Here are
some of the ones that the Steel Market Development Institute
(smdisteel.org) tells us are among the most "steel-intensive."
And it is an impressive list. (The steel amounts are per SMDI.
The comments are ours.)
