Why Are Fleet Owners Turning to Diesel Exhaust Fluid to Mitigate Emissions?
After energy production, transportation is the biggest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The population boom is being accompanied by the rising automotive sales. And, since most of the automobiles are still fueled by gasoline (petrol) and diesel, the air pollution problem continues to worsen. Therefore, the world is now focusing on electric vehicles (EV), and till the time the entire transportation sector of the world doesn’t transition to EVs, other steps are necessary to check GHG emissions. One of the ways most countries have adopted is making the engines, fuel, and exhaust systems of conventional automobiles cleaner. As a result, P&S Intelligence expects the diesel exhaust fluid market size to increase to $20,518.0 million by 2023 from $12,191.5 million in 2017, at an 8.8% CAGR during 2018–2023. This is because diesel exhaust fluid, abbreviated as DEF and also known as AdBlue, accomplishes the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of diesel, to convert harmful nitrous ox...
