Top 5 Reasons Why Adblue is Essential for Diesel Vehicles

Adblue, also known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a colourless 32.5% Aqueous Urea Solution used as a fluid in all modern diesel vehicles. When Adblue works with the Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR) they combine to reduce nitrous oxide emissions – emissions that are harmful to the environment as they contribute to respiratory problems & ecosystem damage.

  1. As mentioned above, diesel engines produce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. AdBlue, combined with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, works to reduce NOx emissions by up to 90%, which translates to cleaner air and a much smaller environmental footprint.
  2. Whilst emission regulations for diesel vehicles are becoming more stringent worldwide, AdBlue and SCR systems are highly compliant with the regulations, allowing modern diesel vehicles to operate legally.
  3. Owning a vehicle with an SCR system means that AdBlue is essential – running out can cause malfunctions to your vehicle, reducing engine power and performance. In the more severe cases, the engine could even shut down to prevent damage. Using AdBlue in your vehicle ensures that it operates at its peak efficiency.
  4. Some studies suggest that using AdBlue in conjunction with SCR systems can improve fuel efficiency in certain diesel vehicles, saving you money.
  5. In the current economy, where the world is striving for cleaner transportation, AdBlue and SCR systems represent a critical step towards achieving lower emissions from diesel engines. Using AdBlue positions you for a smoother transition to future advancements in clean diesel technology.

In conclusion, AdBlue plays a vital role in modern diesel engines equipped with SCR systems. It significantly reduces harmful emissions, making our air cleaner and contributing to a healthier environment. By ensuring that you maintain adequate AdBlue levels and avoid malfunctions, you’re not only protecting your engine’s performance but also doing your part for a greener future. A small top-up of AdBlue can prevent costly repairs and ensures that your vehicle runs smoothly and cleanly.
