What is AdBlue and what does it do?

AdBlue is a clear liquid used in diesel vehicles to reduce harmful emissions. It’s made from a mix of high-purity urea and deionised water and is stored in a separate tank in your vehicle. AdBlue is needed in vehicles equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, a technology designed to meet strict Euro 6 emissions standards. 

When injected into the exhaust system, AdBlue breaks down pollutants produced by diesel engines, like nitrogen oxide (NOx), into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. This reduces the vehicle’s environmental impact without affecting performance. 

Who uses AdBlue?

AdBlue is used in a wide range of diesel-powered vehicles and machinery fitted with SCR systems – usually in commercial, agricultural, and industrial sectors. These include: 

• Haulage companies 
• Bus and coach operators
• Farmers and agricultural contractors
• Construction and plant operators 
• Fleet operators and delivery businesses
• Public sector and local authorities

Why is AdBlue important for businesses?

AdBlue is important for businesses that rely on diesel vehicles or machinery, as it keeps them compliant with Euro 6 emissions laws. These regulate the levels of harmful pollutants vehicles can emit across the EU and the UK. AdBlue is needed for all Euro 6 diesel engines. Without it, any vehicle running in the EU or the UK could face a fine, fail emissions checks, or be restricted from low-emission zones. If your business is building sustainability goals, AdBlue can help cut harmful NOx emissions by up to 90%.
