NONOX to install more than 400 AdBlue pumps in Australia with TRANSTANK NONOX, the AdBlue division of Australian fertilizer and mining chemical supplier Tennant, is to install AdBlue pumps at more than 400 new unmanned Transtank diesel refuelling sites in Australia. NONOX and Transtank have developed AdBlue storage and dispensing equipment together with Bott AdBlue of Germany. Transtank and NONOX plan to have many of the sites in place before Euro IV emissions limits become applicable in Australia as part of the ADR80/02 regulations on 1 January 2008. All the sites will be new, and will add to the existing refuelling network. NONOX is the only AdBlue supplier currently active in Australia. It has established first-fill deals with all the vehicle manufacturers planning to supply SCR trucks and buses, and supplies AdBlue to most truck dealerships with SCR vehicles in their range. AdBlue currently sells for about 1.15 Australian dollars per litre (US$0.97/€0.72), roughly the price of diesel, but sales are only for vehicles being tested and evaluated and therefore volumes are low. NONOX expects the price to fall as logistics become more efficient and benefit from economies of scale. |
