The bi-annual Hannover IAA Show is the world's largest truck show and BlueCat Director John Fuller attended this year's press day on Wednesday 20th September. The show runs for another 10 days but if you can't get there, here is an extract from my SCR photo album.
If anyone tells you that AdBlue isn't required and the major truck manufacturers will sumbit to EGR technology don't believe them. The following pictures will show you that AdBlue & SCR is the dominant technology for reduced exhaust emissions and with the EURO4 deadline only two weeks away, there's no time to waste in putting your own AdBlue preparations into action.
