The collaboration effort, dubbed the Polestar 0 project, intends to produce the world’s first electric vehicle created with zero CO₂ emissions along the entire supply chain, without the use of carbon offsets, by the year 2030. The companies will explore using SSAB’s fossil-free steel in lieu of traditional automotive steel and other carbon-heavy materials.

Polestar chief executive Thomas Ingenlath commented, “We are leveraging innovation and collaboration to address the climate crisis. We are honored that SSAB will collaborate with us in our endeavors to produce a truly climate-neutral Polestar car by 2030. SSAB is showing the way in manufacturing quality steel without carbon dioxide emissions. SSAB’s innovative solutions will be invaluable in helping us decarbonize our manufacturing processes and the materials we use.”
