Euro 5 and the role of AdBlue in the UAE
Since 2005, it is mandatory for diesel vehicles complying with Euro 4, Euro 5 & Euro 6 series to be manufactured with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology
A reduction in NOx levels prevents various air pollution-related diseases and mitigates the environmental impact of diesel engines.
Without AdBlue, vehicles equipped with SCR cannot meet Euro 5 standards, making it essential for compliance, better air quality, and sustainability in the UAE’s growing transport sector.
Euro 5 Standards
Introduced in the UAE to cut harmful vehicle emissions like NOx and particulates.
AdBlue’s role
A urea-based fluid that enables diesel engines with SCR technology to meet Euro 5 limits.
Cleaner Air
Using AdBlue reduces air pollution, supporting sustainability and public health in the UAE.
Your Questions
Get awnsers to our most frequently asked questions
What is Euro 5?
Euro 5 is a European emission standard that limits harmful gases from vehicles, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, and particulates. The UAE adopted it to improve air quality and align with global standards.
Why did the UAE implement Euro 5?
The UAE introduced Euro 5 to reduce vehicle pollution, protect public health, and support the country’s sustainability and clean air goals.
Which vehicles are affected by Euro 5?
Mainly new diesel and petrol vehicles. Diesel engines, in particular, require updated emission control technologies like Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR).
What is AdBlue?
AdBlue is a non-toxic, urea-based liquid that is injected into a vehicle’s exhaust system to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
Why is AdBlue important for Euro 5 compliance?
Without AdBlue, diesel vehicles with SCR systems cannot meet Euro 5 emission limits. It’s essential for reducing NOx emissions and staying compliant.
Is AdBlue safe to handle?
Yes. AdBlue is non-toxic and not harmful to the environment, though it should be stored properly and kept away from direct sunlight.
Where can drivers in the UAE get AdBlue?
We are supplying a variety of Filling Stations
What happens if a vehicle runs out of AdBlue?
If the AdBlue tank is empty, most modern vehicles will not restart after being turned off until it’s refilled. This prevents operation without emission control.
