AdBlue

AdBlue is a solution of urea in water (32.5%), which is used in lorries that use diesel oil, in order to have them run with less impact on the environment. AdBlue is taken on board the lorry in a separate tank. The agent is injected into the hot exhaust gases before a special catalyst. The nitrogen oxides that form during the combustion are converted into elementary nitrogen and water. AdBlue reduces the consumption of diesel oil by approximately 5%, thus allowing lorries that run on diesel oil to meet the Euro IV standard introduced in 2006 and the future Euro V standard (2008).
