Mercedes Sprinter is a vehicle of choice for those seeking reliable and versatile options.
Its diesel variant, in particular, has emerged as a popular choice among businesses for its… Longer range between fill-ups Ability to produce more torque at lower RPMs High fuel efficiency Durability But, but, but… there is a catch. Diesel engines are not very environment friendly.
They are infamous for emitting a large amount of NOx and particulate matter…
Well, by incorporating advanced emissions control components… Such as: Diesel particulate filter Selective catalytic reduction technology, etc… Exhaust gas recirculation
The last one mentioned in the list… relies on a special fluid to ensure effective reduction of NOx emissions. • That fluid is known as AdBlue―today’s topic of discussion.
In a nutshell, AdBlue is a specific type of Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
Although it is produced by several manufacturers, it is a registered trademark of the VDA. • Just so you know, VDA stands for the German Association of the Automotive Industry.
Its two main ingredients are… urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).
The sole purpose of this fluid is to aid the SCR system in reducing emissions of harmful NOx gases.
