AdBlue update

The Federal government says working with the ATA and other Australian diesel exhaust industry stakeholders helped it understand the issues surrounding the AdBlue shortage and formulate a package to address the issue.  

The government says it has put together a $49.5 million package over four years to secure supplies of diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue).  

The package includes:  
  • A government controlled strategic stockpile of 7500 tonnes of technical grade urea (TGU) providing an additional five weeks of supply beyond industry stock levels in case of a supply shortage.  
  • A competitive grants program to support sovereign capability and manufacturing projects that will look to produce TGU domestically.  
  • Collection of voluntary data provided by industry to provide market awareness of TGU and diesel exhaust fluid domestic stocks.
