Fuel and AdBlue® are among the largest operating costs for heavy-duty vehicles. Even small inefficiencies in the emission system can lead to unnecessary consumption, higher running costs, and reduced vehicle uptime. The challenge is that many of these issues are not always visible during day-to-day operation.
In a new short video, Dr. NOx, Dinex’s emission technology expert, explains seven practical ways to improve fuel and AdBlue® efficiency by focusing on the condition and performance of key emission system components.
Rather than relying on driving behavior alone, the video highlights how factors such as sensor accuracy, DPF condition, leakage, insulation, and type-approved components directly influence fuel usage and AdBlue® dosing. Worn or low-quality sensors can lead to incorrect readings and overdosing, while insufficiently cleaned DPFs can increase back pressure and trigger more frequent regenerations — both of which result in higher fuel consumption.
Dr. NOx also explains why proper-grade AdBlue®, tight exhaust connections, and effective thermal insulation play an important role in maintaining stable exhaust temperatures and efficient emission system performance. When these elements are overlooked, the emission system may compensate in ways that increase fuel and AdBlue® use over time.
The video brings together these insights into seven clear, easy-to-understand recommendations that workshops, fleet operators, and vehicle owners can apply in practice to help avoid unnecessary costs and maintain optimal system efficiency.
