Diesel Exhaust Fluid Market
October 2023-Â Stellar Industries at Utility Expo 2023 has announced the launch of three new products. The service truck and trailer producer introduced a poly lube skid to improve lubrication services, a wireless drill pump for various models of its single-reel cable trailers, and a bale-style pull-handle toolbox system. As per the company statement, the latest wireless drill pump further enhances time efficiency and lowers noise by removing the required pumping of the reel by hand. The drill does the work, raising a 2,000-pound reel from the ground to a loaded spot in less than 25 seconds. In addition, a flow control valve evenly distributes flow to every cylinder, repeatedly balancing for an uneven load. The majority of Stellar's self-loading single-reel cable trailers will provide the wireless drill pump, including the RR-135, RR-200, RR-185, and RR-160. The single reel cable trailers are engineered to make hauling, laying cable & wire easier, and removing.

October 2023- Volvo Construction Equipment is introducing the latest Fluid Analysis program. The service grows on its existing Oil Analysis program and now incorporates lubricants, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), diesel fuels, and coolants. The latest program will allow consumers to take preventive action against pollution and wear. The head of repair and maintenance at Volvo CE, Edward Goodchild, said that the significance of fluid analysis cannot be excessive, given that primary recognition of these subtle patterns and anomalies can restrict expensive equipment failures, lower downtime, and extend the machine's lifespan.
In 2024, BPCL launched the first mobile dispenser of Adblue in Kolkata. This dispenser is powered by a battery and, therefore, eliminates the need for commercial vehicle hubs and fuel stations to invest in Adblue filling stations.
TotalEnergies is expanding its operations in Mozambique with the purchase of BP's retail network, wholesale fuel business, and logistics assets beginning in January 2022. The transaction comprises 26 service stations, a portfolio of business customers as well and SAMCOL, which was jointly owned by TotalEnergies and BP (50%), operating Matola, Beira and Nacala fuel import terminals under this logistics company. It will help increase sales for DEF products of total energies at large.
January 2022: The acquisition of BP's retail network, wholesale fuel business, and logistical assets by TotalEnergies will help the company grow in Mozambique. The deal includes a network of 26 gas stations, a client list of businesses, and 50% of SAMCOL, the logistics firm that formerly belonged to TotalEnergies and BP and manages the Matola, Beira, and Nacala gasoline import terminals. This growth will support the company's diesel exhaust fluid product sales.
November 2022: OMV Petrom started the local production of AdBlue, following an investment of approximately EUR 800.000AdBlue usage reduces nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines by up to 90%OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy company in South-Eastern Europe, has begun production of AdBlue, an essential product for reducing emissions of diesel engines. In the first phase, AdBlue will be sold in OMV and Petrom filling stations and starting next year it will be also sold in other networks.The company thus meets the growing demand for this product, amid the increase in the number of commercial vehicles in Romania.Radu Căprău, Member of the Directorate responsible for Refining & Marketing: "The start of AdBlue production was a priority for us as we expect the demand for this product to increase. We expect the demand for AdBlue in the Romanian market will increase by over 30% by 2027 compared to this year, to a level of about 130 million liters."AdBlue is a standard product used for modern diesel engines. It is composed of about 1/3 urea and 2/3 demineralized water. The new production capacity is located in the south of Bucharest, and the investments necessary for the project amounted to approximately EUR 800.000.
December 2021: Brisbane chemical manufacturer Incitec Pivot Limited has announced an agreement with the Australian Government to ramp up urea production and shore-up the country’s dwindling stockpile of diesel vehicle additive AdBlue.Energy Minister Angus Taylor announced today the loftily named AdBlue Taskforce had reached agreement with the company to boost its local production and storage of Technical Grade Granular Urea (TGU), an ingredient in the additive that reduces nitrous oxide particles.The taskforce is interestingly enough led by Chair of Manufacturing Australia and former Incitec Pivot CEO James Fazzino, along with former Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company Andrew Liveris, and Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley.Incitec Pivot will now be in a position to supply quantities needed by current suppliers, Minister Taylor’s office said, adding it would by extension make the local supply chain more resilient, and give the logistics industry some desperately needed supply certainty.
