AdBlue ® additive
for Blue HDi Diesel engines
To ensure respect for the environment, without altering per formance or penalising the fuel consumption of its Diesel engine, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with an effective system for the treatment of exhaust gases, by associating the particle emissions filter (PEF) and the treatment of nitrous oxides (NOx) through the use of the AdBlue ® additive. ® additive. ®
In this way PEUGEOT meets the EURO 6 regulations which impose a sharp reduction of these gases on Diesel engines.
