Alstom and SSAB in partnership for fossil emission-free steel

Alstom and SSAB entered a partnership for the supply of steel made with close to zero fossil carbon emissions. The first delivery of SSAB Zero will take place this year and be used in Alstom’s first Traxx Shunter locomotives, a new platform designed for shunting and trackwork operations.

SSAB Zero is commercial steel made of recycled steel and produced with fossil-free electricity and biogas. By using SSAB Zero instead of traditional steel, Alstom will significantly reduce the embodied carbon footprint in the material of its new locomotive platform.

The Traxx Shunter platform is compatible with hydrogen, battery and catenary systems. The Traxx Shunter H hydrogen locomotive is an innovative shunting solution designed by Alstom, with funding from France Relance, France 2030 and NextGenerationEU, as part of the IPCEI Hy2Tech program. It combines the latest hydrogen fuel cell and battery technologies to achieve zero direct carbon emissions.
