AdBlue System Removal

AdBlue, or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an exhaust treatment system used to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx) from diesel engines. The system works by injecting the AdBlue solution into the exhaust gas stream, where it reacts with NOx to form water vapour and nitrogen.

European HGV manufacturers started transitioning from Euro 5 releases to Euro 6 during 2013/2014 as part of a clean air initiative, meaning the vast majority of trucks released over the last 10 years will be fitted with an AdBlue/SCR system.

In parts of the world where Euro 6 emission standards aren’t required, or where the infrastructure to run AdBlue reliant vehicles just isn’t there, AdBlue removal can be an economical way to make it possible to run Euro 6 trucks. The most common ways to do this are AdBlue Emulation or AdBlue Deletion.

AdBlue Emulators are devices that mimic the AdBlue system, fooling the vehicle’s computer into thinking the AdBlue System is in place and functional.

AdBlue Delete is a software update that removes the AdBlue system from the vehicle’s computer entirely.
