Body absorbs and distributes the crash energy from a car accident, and plays a role of securing safety of drivers and passengers by minimizing its impact. POSCO GIGA steel is applied in this concept. The PBC-EV(POSCO body concept for electric vehicle) shows an integrated solution . The model is extensively adapting POSCO GIGA steels for achieving a safer and lighter body, showing a better competitiveness compared to other competing material such as aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP), etc.

Strong & Light

It is differentiated material that can make it possible for two values unlikely to co-exist to actually stand together. POSCO’s Giga Steel has made it possible to reduce weight while providing the same level of strength for vehicle bodies. Giga Steel is three times stronger but three times thinner than aluminum.

Price down & Low pollution

It has differentiated technology that can make it possible for two values unlikely to co-exist to actually stand together. POSCO’s Giga Steel is cost-effective and eco-friendly. Compared to aluminum, it is 3.5 times cheaper and costs 2.1 times less, enabling a dramatic cut in the production cost. It can also help reduce CO₂ emissions by over 10 percent, contributing to a cleaner environment.
