And we are extending our initiatives to rail transport and will also be setting our eyes on maritime shipping. <br><br> We have now undertaken successful trials of trucks powered by hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO) in 10 countries.

Given the potential for the production of HVO to compete with important agricultural production, we will in due course be providing certification that all our HVO-powered logistics will be delivered from waste vegetable oils and not from primary production. <br><br> Simultaneously, we have been progressing with electric truck trials. In October 2023 our customer KS Service Centre in Moerdijk, Netherlands, received its first delivery of XCarb<sup>®</sup> recycled and renewably produced steel through logistics partner DFDS's fleet of electric trucks. We are now utilising 2 electric trucks per day through DFDS in the Netherlands, being charged with renewable electricity. ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions (AMDS) has also been undertaking e-truck trials in Madrid, Lyon, Halle and Olpe. In spring 2024, our Madrid site acquired its first own e-truck. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="no-bg-data no-bg-content"> <div class="no-bg-data-animation-item" data-aos="fade-down" data-aos-offset="0" data-aos-delay="0" data-aos-duration="1000"> <div class="image-container"> <img src="images/section-1-4.jpg"> </div> <p class="image-title text-center"> Copyright: DB Cargo </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fullscreen fullscreen-left fullscreen-mobile" style="background:url(images/section-1-5.jpg) no-repeat top center; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover;"> <div class="copyright-block copyright-block-right copyright-block-dark-bg"> <span class="copyright-small">Copyright:</span> <span class="copyright-name">DB Cargo</span> </div> <div class="slide-content slide-content-background" style="background:#000" > <h4> In July 2024 Pierre Timmermans (in the middle), Chief Commercial Officer of DB Cargo group, handed over the CO<sub>2</sub> certificate reflecting the 2023 DB Carbo CO<sub>2</sub> emissions savings to Rajesh Saigal, head of Purchasing at ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products (on the left), in the presence of André Kalvalage, head of Purchasing land logistics ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products (on the right). </h4> </div> </div> <div class="auto-height" style="background:#647a59;"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2"> <h3 class="text-center" data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-offset="50" data-aos-duration="100" data-aos-delay="100"> Beyond road transport, rail cargo represents 42% percent of our logistic flows.
