A shortage of urea has led to a potential crisis as Australia struggles to produce a crucial diesel anti-pollutant.
Known as AdBlue, the diesel exhaust fluid is added to most modern diesel engines to help them run smoothly, however prices have increased drastically in the past year due to China limiting urea exports.
The Chief Executive of Australia’s largest AdBlue Manufacture Simon Henry says his company is pulling out all the stops to ensure stocks do not run out, despite the added costs of international importation.
