Beauties @ Work – November

The industry counts more than 3500 types of steel. More than 70 percent of them were only developed in the past 20 years.

Around 1.6 billion tonnes are produced annually around the world. If the Eiffel tower were to be rebuilt today, with the modern steels available, only a third of the material initially used would now be required. Equally frugal, the modern-day Actros also uses less fuel than its predecessors. In its latest development stage, the heavy-duty OM 471 engine has reduced its consumption in comparison to the previous model by as much as three percent, despite it now offering even greater driving dynamics. And that even when heavy steels needs transporting.
