When did Scania start using AdBlue?

2005
For five years, Scania engines also use Scania’s own, in-house developed engine management systems. Urea (AdBlue)-SCR technology was introduced in the European market by DaimlerChrysler in the early 2005 under the trade name BlueTec.

How much AdBlue does a Scania use?

AdBlue use on Scania’s Euro-5 engines runs at about 5% to 6%, but for Euro-6 this is expected to drop to 3% to 4%. “AdBlue injection is more accurate,” says Per-Erik Nordstrom, product affairs. “It is about two-thirds of that required for Euro-5 SCR systems.

What is a Euro 6 lorry?

Euro 6 was introduced in 2015, and almost all vans and trucks sold from September 2016 onwards complied with the new standards. For petrol vehicles, this meant they could emit no more than 1.0g/km of carbon monoxide, 0.1g/km of hydrocarbon, 0.06g/km of nitrogen oxide and 0.005g/km of particulate matter.

How does a Euro 6 engine work?

It works by storing the nitrogen oxide and then mixing it with exhaust gases to convert it into nitrogen and water.

Can ADBlue be deleted?

Our ADBlue ® delete service removes the ADBlue ® system from the vehicle’s engine control unit. After removal, the vehicle drives like a system with ADBlue ®, without error messages and without the engine indicator light lighting up. Deactivating the SCR system is intended exclusively for use off public roads.

Does ADBlue degrade?

Although AdBlue naturally degrades over time, it can last up to one year.

How many miles will 10 Litres of AdBlue last?

According to GreenChem, a typical mid-sized diesel car will travel 1,000km (620 miles or so) on a single litre of AdBlue. Most AdBlue tanks hold around 10 litres or more, so you may find it won’t need to be topped up until the next scheduled service.

Do Scania trucks use AdBlue?

Heavy diesel engines, such as Scania’s trucks, often have an AdBlue system. AdBlue is developed to reduce NOx emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines.

How do I know if my truck is Euro 6?

Does my car meet Euro 6? You can find out whether your car meets Euro 6 standards, by entering its details into the emissions look-up tool on the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) website or by contacting the manufacturer.

What emission is Euro 6?

The Euro 6 emission standard sets a legal requirement for a car manufacturer to average CO2 emissions below 98g/km. The Euro 6 standard particularly focuses on restricting diesel NOx emissions, which along with particulate matter (PM), are considered some of the most hazardous emissions.
