Environmental protection for new and used Volvo uppercase takes very seriously the issue of environmental protection for both new and used Volvo Truck truck for truck maker Volvo. Therefore Volvo meets the emission standards Euro 4 and Euro 5 through the use of SCR technology now also, as the vast majority of the Western European truck manufacturers. 4 emissions standard in Europe in 2006 and the euro was introduced 5 standard the euro in the year 2009. Volvo developed new solutions for diesel engines, combustion processes and technologies for the exhaust to meet the standards. The manufacturer Volvo is the leader in the development of these technologies for the reduction of exhaust gases. Specifically, the new technologies include diesel engines with more efficient combustion in conjunction with exhaust aftertreatment using AdBlue additive and SCR (selective catalytic reduction, selective catalytic reduction). What exactly is now behind the SCR technology. The SCR technology is the best solution to implement the requirements of the Euro 4 standard for Volvo Truck.

The SCR technology is a proven and reliable method that will not affect the vehicle’s performance and the fuel-saving solution for Euro 4 and Euro 5. For the Euro 5 engine, for example more AdBlue is injected to further reduce the nitrogen oxide content. For Euro 4 the percentage of admixture is equivalent to 3-4% of the fuel quantity, for Euro 5 approx. approx. 5 to 7%. Summarized the SCR technology brings many benefits: Pan-European use possible, clearly unempfindlichere response to diesel fuel of inferior quality than other technologies, low-maintenance and use throughout the lifetime of a vehicle aligned, does not affect the service and oil change intervals of vehicles fitted with, also suitable for cars with high performance and represents the fuel saving of all solutions available for Euro 4 and Euro 5. An additive called AdBlue is needed for the Volvo SCR technology, which is injected into the exhaust gases before they are led through a SCR-catalyst.

In the catalytic converter, you will be Then then nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water vapor transformed – so substances, which already in nature occur. The urea is the substance in AdBlue and is extracted from natural gas. Urea is a crystalline white powder that does exist in this form in nature. It is a stable and non-toxic substance for which no storage or transport constraints exist. Volvo is working with leading oil and chemical company of intelligent solutions for a distribution network and the use of AdBlue. Many manufacturers have container systems and equipment on offer, which already is available for delivery. Up to the complete infrastructure for AdBlue Volvo dealer network will offer a convenient and cost-efficient system for the unique requirements of AdBlue its customers.
