Introduction of new Emission Standard

EURO 6 and the Impact to the Retail Industry

Thomas Wullkopf – 2014

Euro 6 Emission Standard

Purpose of new Euro 6 Emission Level is the significant reduction of

NOX emissions of Diesel vehicles EU-wide.

Commercial Diesel Vehicles > 3,5t

- Effective Januar 1st, 2014

- NOX emission reduction from 2000 mg/kWh to 400 mg/kWh

Vehicle manufacturer continue to use exhaust aftertreatment

Light Diesel Vehicles ≤ 3,5t

- Effective Sept. 1st, 2014

- NOX emission reduction from 180 mg/km to 80 mg/km

Vehicle manufacturer introduce exhaust aftertreatment

Exhaust Aftertreatment

Required technologies to meet the EURO 6 emission level:

Either NOx storage catalyst- without AdBlue®

or Selective Catalytic Reduction- with AdBlue®, known from commercial vehicles

Background to AdBlue®

- Synthetically produced 32,5% Urea in demineralized water

- Colorless

- Non toxic

- Not inflammable

- Freezes at -11°C

- Is not a Diesel additive, separate vehicle tank required

Synonyms

- In Literature called AUS32

- AdBlue® is a registered trade mark of the VDA (German Car Manufacturer Association)

- In USA called Diesel Exhaust Fluid

- In Latin America called ARLA 32

Relevant ISO Standards

- ISO 22241-1: 2006 Defines Quality Requirements

- ISO 22241-2: 2006/8 Defines Test Method

- ISO 22241-3: 2008 Handling, Transportation & Storage

- ISO 22241-4: 2009 Refilling Interface

New

- ISO 22241-5: 2012 Refilling Interface for Passenger Cars

ISO 22241-4: Refilling Interface

- EURO 4 introduction in 2005 caused usage of AdBlue® for Trucks

- Flow rates up to 40 l/min

ISO 22241-4: Refilling Interface

- Misfilling Prevention to keep AdBlue® out of Diesel tank

- Realized by magnet switch in nozzle spout and magnet in filler neck

Magnet adapter

ISO 22241-5: Passenger Cars

- Not introduced when producing the first AdBlue® vehicle generation

- Unlike trucks (magnet) no integrated Misfilling Prevention

- Flow rates up to 10 l min-1

- Same inner diameter as AdBlue® truck filler neck

The different filler neck geometry, the missing magnet and different flow

rate require an additional AdBlue® infrastructure for passenger cars.

AdBlue Car Tank Sizes

- Current tank sizes range from 15 to 35 l

- Future tank sizes will be reduced around 8 to 15 l

Example of current cars:

Passenger Vehicles can not be operated without AdBlue®.

Warnings at 2400 and 1000km before AdBlue® is consumed,

vehicles they will not start if the AdBlue® tank is empty.

First experience shows that actual vehicles consume more AdBlue® than

anticipated, refill of AdBlue® every 4th to 6th Diesel filling.

Model Tank size Calculated / Designed Reach

Audi A6 17L 15.000 Km

VW Passat 17L 17.000 Km

Mercedes GL 33L 16.000 - 22.000 Km

BMW 3er 21L 20.000 Km Source: VDA Working Group

FC Diesel Vehicle Production

- German Car Manufacturer hold approx. 50% Market Share in EU

Approx. 40 Mio. Diesel passenger vehicles can be expected in EU by 2020
