As if things aren't bad enough already, now China isn't sending us urea, so our trucking fleet will have to source their Adblue, from somewhere else.
If worse came to worse, the vehicle manufacturers could rewrite some of the ecu code, so that the truck didn't have to run the adblue it is only injected into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions.Are they taking the pi$$ ?
Seriously, it could be really serious for our transport fleet if we can get it elsewhere or make it ourselves..
What is AdBlue and why is a global shortage threatening to send the price of everything soaring?
You might not have heard of AdBlue, but you'll be all too aware of it if the supply shortage isn't sorted out. In the worst case scenario, Australia's economy could be brought to its knees.www.abc.net.au
How long has adBlue been required? I've had a diesel car for 12 years and only heard of it recently.If worse came to worse, the vehicle manufacturers could rewrite some of the ecu code, so that the truck didn't have to run the adblue it is only injected into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions.
By EU laws they have to shut the motor down, if the additive isn't being injected, but as long as the manufacturers were given a legal waiver, they could reprograme the ecu pretty easily I would think.
I think a lot of it, is the media doing its normal, rev up the story nonsense. Get the masses wad punching their undies. ?
I don't think from memory U.S truck engines run adblue, only EU6 2015 compliant vehicles have adblue software and not all vehicles use adblue to reduce Nox.
it's a bit like having a sensor in your cars catalytic converter, that if the catalytic converter stops working the car stops, it wouldn't take long for the boys to chop out the catalytic converter replace it with a bit a straight pipe, then write some code into the map on the ecu that it's working a charm.?
necessity is the mother of invention
Well that's my take on it.
It was introduced in Europe by some manufacturers to meet the EU6 emission standards introduced in 2015, it is injected into the exhaust system to break down the exhaust gas to reduce the nitrous oxide emissions.How long has adBlue been required? I've had a diesel car for 12 years and only heard of it recently.
Here is a good article on adblue Rumpy.How long has adBlue been required? I've had a diesel car for 12 years and only heard of it recently.
Here you go Rumpy, what did I say, storm in a teacup. But the media will milk it till, it is dry, absolute dicks. ?How long has adBlue been required? I've had a diesel car for 12 years and only heard of it recently.
The point is, if Woodside don't develop the field, East Timor will get someone who will. They desperately need it operating.As I suggested, the Solomons, now East Timor, next Indonesia, the noose tightens.
East Timorese President Jose Ramos-Horta has defended China’s role as a growing strategic and economic power in the Asia-Pacific, arguing it has “hardly ever” invaded other countries and was unlikely to do so in the future.‘Don’t lecture us!’ East Timor president defends China, offshore gas drilling
Jose Ramos-Horta defended China’s role as a rising power, arguing it has “hardly ever” invaded other countries and was unlikely to do so in the future.www.theage.com.au
In a forthright appearance at the National Press Club, Ramos-Horta also said he would not be lectured by western environmentalists opposed to the development of a giant gas field in the waters off East Timor.
Yes but Woodside will have to stump up the money, to build something in a fairly unstable country, that gives Woodside no security of tenure and are the junior partner. Also East Timor have very limited experience operating anything, let alone a state of the art LNG processing plant.The point is, if Woodside don't develop the field, East Timor will get someone who will. They desperately need it operating.
BHP cant run those mines at a profit, they are far to top heavy and concentrate on playing the politics than worrying about mining, ASX listed Stanmore brought other coal a BHP subsidiary BMC assets a few years ago Portriel and South walker and paid the two mines off in some 18 months. buy not having a over bloated top heavy corporate staff of token and alphabet peopleThe one thing that we can be sure of, China may not end up owning the world, but it may end up owning Australia.
The result of unintended consequences.?
Yancoal chief executive David Moult wants to spend some of the miner’s record profits buying two Queensland coal mines being offloaded by BHP, and says last week’s deadly mine collapse in China could affect demand for Australian coal if it prompts a safety crackdown.Yancoal keen on BHP’s Queensland coal mines
Acquisition of Rio Tinto’s coal mines made Yancoal arguably Australia’s most indebted company five years ago. Now it’s cashed up and ready to buy BHP’s mines.www.afr.com
