According to the latest news released by Baosteel on Apr. 27, its sales of autosheet ranked among the top three in the world, and the top position in domesticauto sheet market. It has formed a complete solution in the use of new energyvehicle steel. The relevant person in charge of Baosteel Co., Ltd. recentlystated at related "Shanghai Auto Show” activity sites that the sales ofBaosteel auto sheet reached a new high, up to 12 million tons in the last year,ranking the top three in the world. Where, the sales growth of cold-rolled autosheet has outperformed the growth of the domestic auto sheet market. Atpresent, Baosteel Co., Ltd. is the world's first enterprise capable ofproducing the first, second and third generation of advanced ultra-highstrength steel at the same time. It is also the only enterprise in China thatcan supply all kinds of automobile sheets, including hot rolling, pickling,cold rolling, hot galvanizing, hot galvanized iron, electrogalvanizing sheet,etc.
Baosteel Co., Ltd. has been fully prepared for steel supply for new energyvehicles. Relevant persons of Baosteel Co., Ltd. said at the latest performancebriefing that new energy vehicles are developing rapidly. Compared with fuelvehicles, pure electric new energy vehicles have weeded out the engine,gearbox, transmission system, fuel tank, and exhaust system; but added new motor,battery packs, and related cooling and heating systems. The overall equipmentweight has been increased. Lightweight of automobile is urgently needed. In theshort term, considering costs and safety, steel will still be the most widelyused material.
Therefore, from the perspective of steel application, the amount of traditionalbars (such as drive shafts, gear steels) will be relatively reduced, while theuse amount of lightweight advanced high-strength steel, ultra-high-strengthsteel, thermoforming steel, and vehicle drive motor non-oriented electricalsteel will increase. Relying on its delivery performance in advancedhigh-strength steel, ultra-high-strength steel, thermoforming steel, highefficiency driven motor steel, etc., Baosteel has formed a complete solutionfor the use of new energy vehicle steel and continues early interventioncooperation on new energy vehicles with domestic and foreign automobilemanufacturers to support the lightweight of new energy vehicles.
