® ADDITIVE
The technology
adBlue® is the brand name of the solution needed for operation of the
SCR
system. BlueHDi
vehicles have a specific
a dBlue
® additive tank with a capacity
of 17 litres .
It

The
objective
of
BlueHDi
is
to
reduce
by
up
to
90%
the
emissions
of
NOx
(nitrous oxides) in the air
, using a
system
that
converts
NOx
into
water
vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic
converter:
SCR
(Selective
Catalytic
Reduction).
This
objective
meets
the
"Euro"
emissions
standard
adopted
by
the
European

European
standard
to
be
met,
with
an
extra
