Sustaining Your Operations and
the Environment with AdBlue

The liquid that decreases harmful nitrogen emissions is AdBlue. AdBlue is a fluid that’s made of deionized water and urea, which is what gets sprayed into the vehicle’s exhaust system to minimize environmental impact. Essentially, it’s the hero of this process but, how exactly does it do that?

AdBlue is a non-toxic fluid that’s odorless and colorless, which works with SCR. This fluid is injected into the SCR and it converts nitrogen oxide to harmless nitrogen and water. Initially, this fluid was engineered to help modern diesel cars adhere to strict emissions regulations. Now, it has become the standard for new diesel vehicles everywhere.

Through the use of SCR and AdBlue, a vehicle can have 60% less Nitrogen Oxide emissions and 80% less particulate matter emissions than Euro 3 levels. Clearly, AdBlue is here to stay and truck manufacturers must innovate to include these systems in their products.

Nowadays, vehicles that use AdBlue are equipped with sensors that allow their operators to easily monitor and maintain optimum AdBlue levels. This is done by adding an AdBlue section on the vehicle’s dashboard.

While logistics operators may fear the cost of AdBlue, this fluid is economically friendly and can go a long way. In fact, for every 100 L of diesel, only four to five liters of AdBlue is needed.
