AdBlue shortage and crisis in Australia – a solution from Effective Tuning

AdBlue shortage and crisis in Australia and part of Europe is a hot topic for the last few months. It refers to the shortage of AdBlue – an additive used in all diesel trucks and vehicles, manufactured after 2011.

Australia and parts of Europe have been facing an AdBlue crisis with fears that if the additive runs out, many vehicles could be taken off the road. If trucks are unable to transport fresh food and other goods, this could spark a chain of shortages on supermarket shelves across the country.

Fortunately, we, at Effective Tuning, have the right solution and it is called AdBlue delete! Learn more in our article!

 

What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid – additive for the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (SCR). It consists of 32.5% highly purified urea and 67.5% demineralized water. This fluid acts as an anti-pollutant in diesel engines. It helps reduce the content of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust by 90%.

It is poured into a separate tank. After that, it is injected into the SCR system to neutralize the harmful emissions emitted by diesel engines. Thanks to AdBlue, vehicles meet the Euro-5 and Euro-6 environmental standards and requirements.

The AdBlue is used in diesel vehicles equipped with SCR catalyst and is vital to the freight and logistics sectors.

 

What happens when the AdBlue liquid tank is empty?

The SCR system in vehicles with modern diesel engines requires regular refueling with AdBlue. In order to ensure that the system works properly, the software usually prohibits the use of the vehicle, if the AdBlue liquid tank is empty. In other words, the vehicle will not start. Or the engine will go into a limp mode, in which the speed of the vehicle is limited.

The end result of ignoring the screen indicator for the need of refueling AdBlue is that the vehicle stops. Although AdBlue is not required to move the vehicle, restarting it will be electronically blocked.

 

The AdBlue shortage and the crisis in Australia and Europe

Urea is a key ingredient in AdBlue. Australia typically imports this ingredient from China, but a recent halt on exports has had a significant effect on supply.

Actually, China accounts for about 90% of urea supplies to different areas. Due to the increase in the price of natural gas used in the process, the Chinese government has limited the significant amount of raw materials for AdBlue in order to be able to meet the demand for the huge domestic market.

In addition, the high prices of natural gas are the reason why many companies in other countries are also stopping the production of AdBlue, which makes it even more expensive.  At the end of 2021, the cost of AdBlue skyrocketed and many transport companies are reporting that prices had quadrupled.

The AdBlue shortage and the crisis affect almost all heavy-duty trucks and vehicles in Australia and Europe, manufactured after 2011, which meet the Euro5 standard and are obligated to use additives to control harmful emissions. AdBlue is also used in diesel cars, which meet the Euro6 standard.

 

What are the main problems with the AdBlue shortage?

The biggest issue with the AdBlue shortage in Australia and parts of Europe is that if there are not enough AdBlue supplies, many trucks and vehicles will not be able to run.

About 500 000 diesel trucks, buses, heavy construction, and agricultural equipment vehicles in Australia rely on AdBlue. So, when the supplies of AdBlue have been running dangerously low, there were strong concerns that many vehicles would be brought to a halt. In other words, the crisis with the AdBlue shortage means that many vehicles wouldn’t be able to deliver things like fuel, food, supermarket goods, and others, and this will create a major squeeze.
