“For more than five decades, Nucor has been built on the sustainable model of producing steel with a low carbon footprint,” said Al Behr, Nucor executive vice president of plate and structural products. “Even though we are one of the cleanest steelmakers in the world, we know we need to continue to lower our greenhouse gas intensity. This partnership with PGT and (tractor manufacturer) Nikola is just one example of the innovative ways Nucor is working to reduce its carbon emissions,” Behr said.  

The Trucker said Nucor has installed battery charging stations at several of its mills, including Brandenburg, to enable the use of battery-electric flatbed trucks.
