Our studies show that JFE product’s high formability is superior to Competitors’ products at all strength levels. 15
JFE Automotive Steel Sheet is Used Worldwide ※
■JFE Steel’s steel sheet technology is used in 12% of all automobiles produced worldwide. - Among Japanese autos, more than 25% worldwide and 35% in Asia-Oceania region. ※JFE Steel’s steel sheet consists of that shipped from JFE and JFE-licensed alliance partners overseas.
■Automakers rate JFE Steel highly for - Advanced technologies - Sophisticated business capabilities ・ Early vendor involvement ・ Dependable deliveries ・ Skilled sales force ■Our advantages will increase with the rise of new demand for hybrid automobiles and electric-motor automobiles which need high-end electrical steel sheets for their motors. 16
