3 Global Steel Market Outlook CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION IN MILLION TONNES CRUDE STEEL PRODUCTION IN MILLION TONNES China F F Europe Japan CIS USA Brazil 2010 crude steel production expected at 1395 MT 2011 Production forecast at 1470 MT (+5.5%) 2015: 1780 Mt Worldwide crude steel production increase between 2010 and 2015 at +28% (+385 MT) China production forecast 2015 at 945 MT equivalent to 53% of the global production compared to an estimated 45% in 2010 World Steel Production is expected to grow 28% in the 5 coming years *Source WSA & ArcelorMittal

4 2011: a turning point for the auto industry how will the auto industry react to society changes? changing mobility concepts Different human relation to the object car (no more status symbol in Western Europe?) CO 2 legislations, taxation & insurance impact consumer behavior Remaining industry concerns in Europe: overcapacity, market saturation, new market entrants, The Body in White design & required materials will depend on what combination of vehicle type & power train concept will prevail

5 And how does the auto industry respond? Commercial Consolidation (Alliances) to cut development costs Redefinition of Premium (low emission hype car) vs. low cost cars Production Mega-Platforms to improve cost Reduce capex & risk exposure: outsourcing of stamping New power train concepts Globalization Growth will come from Asia Moving production to Eastern Europe

6 Automotive market drivers impacting the Steel Industry Safety performances Environment challenges Reduction of CO 2 emissions Threat of alternative materials Recycling & Life Cycle Assessment Penalties (EU) New powertrains Globalization New geographical markets New segments Consolidation to cut costs Mega platforms to reduce development costs Need for specific answers from the steel industry

7 The CO 2 challenge for the auto industry Reduction of CO 2 emission is a major challenge for OEM Source: World Auto Steel

8 The impact on steel from the CO 2 challenge Consequences on car design: In the next 20 years, cars will have to lose several hundreds kilograms Impact on steel: OEM willing to pay today in the vehicle concept as much as 10 /kg saved in the BIW versus 2 /kg one year ago

9 From CO 2 emissions to CO 2 footprint. Future regulations - Importance of Life Cycle Assessment Pushing to take into account total environmental footprint of car and not CO 2 emission as sole factor (alu is CO 2 intensive in production) AHSS Aluminium Magnesium Carbon FRP From CO 2 emissions to CO 2 complete footprint for all materials LCA is needed to move regulations on complete vehicle life ( well to wheel approach) GreenHouse Gases from Production (in kg CO 2 eq/kg of material) Courtesy Worldautosteel 16/09/2011 Confidential 8

10 Transform a threat into an opportunity Take up the auto challenges The products The steel solutions A new business model

11 At the heart of any approach: the product % of Advanced High Strength Steels in car structure 6% 9% 14% 32% 16/09/2011 Confidential 10

12 ArcelorMittal The broadest AHSS offer in the world 16/09/2011 Confidential 11

13 The differentiating solution: Usibor Coated boron steel for hot stamping 10% cost saving Extreme high strength 1500 MPa 30% weight saving potential No spring back

14 TEl% Differentiate through Innovation : Breakthrough developments for cold-stamping 50 Commercialized Under development 40 Under development (Breakthrough) UTS (MPa) High Modulus Steel : 1st feasibility industrial trial in 2011 HSHF 3rd generation : Selection of best candidates end 2011

15 Differentiate through innovation S-in motion project: Lightweight steel design Significant weight saving proposals

16 S-in motion: an ambitious weight reduction vehicle project S-in motion project aims to provide all new steel solutions for the Body In White, the closures and the chassis that address vehicle mass and cost performance ratios while maintaining vehicle safety. Based on a vehicle reference, it incorporates a catalogue of material options, new forming & joining technologies with an ambitious weight reduction of 20% with our advanced steels (flat products, tubes, long products).

17 S-in motion project objectives Demonstrate up to 20% weight reduction is possible with currently-available AHSS grades Relative to a modern, AHSS-intensive reference BIW (35% AHSS) Target Perimeter = BiW, Closures, and Chassis 20% weight reduction in C-class vehicle BIW Steel grades available in 2010 Build a catalogue of worldwide solutions per sub module EU Version NA Version adapted to meet 2010 US crash requirements Comprehends world-wide crash and performance requirements At the lowest possible cost

18 S-in motion Project

19 Hot stamped parts on the lightest BiW For the lightest BiW concept, 29 parts (~69 kg) are made with press hardened steel: Ductibor 500P Usibor 1500P LWB Ductibor 500P / Usibor 1500P LWB Usibor 1500P / Usibor 1500P Press hardened steels offer high mechanical resistance for complex geometries without spring back effect

20 Laser Welded Blanks on the lightest BiW For the lightest BiW concept, 16 parts are made with laser welded blanks Tensile strength values Laser welded blanks offer an effective way to optimise the part thickness while maintaining performances

21 S-in motion lightest vehicle
