benz adblue Q&A Review

Does India currently have any Euro 6 (or BS VI) standard vehicles running on the road today?

Yes, India has vehicles running on road which are BS VI compliant. Recently Mercedes Benz launched the new ,s class ,which is the first BS VI compliant car of India . And the great thing is that it runs on BS IV fuel, Mercedes Benz uses a fluid known as ,adblue ,too make it happen Adblue is technically termed as DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) consisting of 32% urea mixed with deionized water. It is injected in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) converter, for processing of gases and reducing harmful NOx emission Benefits of BS VI standards: BS VI standards are far-reaching in scope and incorporate substantial changes to existing Bharat Stage IV emission standards. Of particular note is the tightening of Particulate Matter (PM) and NOx mass emission limits. In a BS VI vehicle the NOx limit reduction is up to 68 per cent and PM limit reduction is achieved at 82 per cent, compared with BS IV

Is Hyundai Creta 1.6 E Plus, BS 6?

No car in India is BS VI compliant. The only car which is available in India which has a BS VI in India is the Mercedes Benz S 350 D. This is a brief from a news clipping about the same. The special traits of the top-of-the-line engine in the diesel family include the new stepped-bowl combustion chamber design, two-stage turbocharging and, for the first time, the use of CAMTRONIC variable valve-lift control. Its design features a combination of aluminium engine block and steel pistons as well as further improved NANOSLIDE® coating of the cylinder walls. The new S Class with BS VI engine comes with 25 litre Ad blue tank for injection. Adblue is technically termed as DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) consisting of 32% urea mixed with deionized water. It is injected in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) converter, for processing of gases and reducing harmful NOx emissions. Adblue needs replacement/top-up at the periodic service intervals, or when indicated in the instrument cluster. The vehicle’s AdBlue® tank will be topped up each time customer’s vehicle is serviced,. What all of this means is that the Mercedes S Class with the Diesel engine will run as per BS VI specs while using our BS IV fuel. It's really something innovative which helps put an efficient and clean engine in the market.

What is the meaning of Bluetech in the Mercedes Benz ML350?

BlueTEC is technology brought by Mercedes Benz into their lineup of diesel engines. This was in response to the ever tighter emissions regulations, particularly in Europe and the US. The first iteration was launched in 2007 to be able to run on the then newly introduced ultra low sulfur diesel. The first car to get this was the E320 BlueTEC. Subsequently, this technology has been upgraded in the form of BlueTEC AdBlue diesel injection engines to comply with the US BIN 5 emission regulations, as well as to be compliant with Europe's EU 6 parameters. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but the UK at least is back pedalling on their commitment to diesel that has been prevalent over the past 20 years or so. This is mainly due to the health problems associated with particulate matter released from even the most modern of diesel engines using the best diesel fuel. Europe is switching back to smaller, turbocharged petrol engines, with a slow increase in electric engine production.

What is less harmful for environment, the diesel or petrol(gas) engine?

Neither. One emits a high proportion of one type of harmful gasses and the other emits another type. Diesel - emits higher levels of NOx than a petrol. Emits more particulate matter than a petrol. Petrol - emits higher levels of HC, CO and CO2 than a diesel. Which one can be improved the most and which could get worse with some new increasing technology inovations? Diesel - particulates - higher injection pressures which will be difficult but is being worked on well atleast claimed by Mercedes Benz in a recent press release will reduce particulate matter. NOx this is the result of high combustion temperatures which also affects petrol engines but is able to be controlled by EGR on a petrol. It can't be controlled by this method in a diesel as there is no intake vacuum and turbochargers would also play havoc. Currently controlled in diesels by AdBlue (Urea) and catalyst. Petrol - a number of manufacturers are adopting GDi engines which reduces fuel consumption and therefore CO2. It may also reduce HC and CO but increases particulate matter. There have been remarks in papers I have seen about fitting the equivalent of the Diesel's DPF to petrol engines as a mandatory requirement. Swiss team concludes that particulate filters should be mandatory for GDI engines NEW GASOLINE PARTICULATE FILTERS (GPF)

Why is BlueTEC diesel technology not yet implemented in India?

“Mercedes never disclosed to consumers that Mercedes diesels with BlueTEC engines may be ‘clean’ diesels when it is warm, but are ‘dirty’ diesels when it is not,” according to the complaint. “Mercedes never disclosed that, when the temperature drops below 50 degrees, it prioritizes engine power and profits over people.” First of all BlueTEC belongs to Daimler under which Mercedes-Benz is a subsidiary. I guess BlueTEC is almost available on every Merc in India but the adblue is not.Since every new Diesel technology has to adhere to the government regulations and standards,it leads to more research and increase in price. With stricter norms like BSIV it becomes harder and harder for automobile companies to balance cost and features for a particular vehicle.Talking of a better diesel technology it certainly increases overall price of a vehicle. BlueTec belongs to Mercedes so it would be wrong to say that every manufacturer should use BlueTec.

Is the Mercedes Blue TEC a diesel?

BlueTEC is a trademark name used by Mercedes-Benz to describe its diesel engine exhaust treatment system. In order to keep up with the steadily evolving and increasingly demanding emissions laws of North America and Europe, the company has designed and released two versions of this system. Version one was released for the U.S. market in the form of the 2007 E320 BlueTEC sedan and was designed to utilize, the then newly introduced, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). As a next step, Mercedes-Benz released the more sophisticated R, ML and GL 320 series BlueTECs with AdBlue injection diesels that meet America's demanding BIN 5 emissions standards and are on track to qualify for Europe's EU6 parameters.

How many miles can I expect to get on a Benz GLK 250 Blue Tec with normal maintenance?

Answering an old question but I’ve had my 2013 glk 250 for 6 months now. I really like it and from what I understand, the biggest problem with these cars is the emissions system. Beyond that they are very reliable. I think the emissions system works better in a warmer climate due to the adblue freezing below -11 C. If you maintain it as per the recommended Mercedes maintenance plan the car will last you a very long time. I’d buy another one based on what I’ve experienced.

If my Mercedes diesel needs AdBlue, does that mean it’s a BlueTec?

Instead of giving you an answer, I suggest you learn some self-reliance by: (1) Reading YOUR OWNERS MANUAL, if you don’t have an OWNERS MANUAL one shall be provided for you. (2).Ask your MB Service Advisor or Service Manager. That’s what they’re there for, to help you and answer your questions. (3) Look it up online under Mercedes Diesel, BlueTec. Should be plenty of INFO. Yes, Quora is full of smart experienced people, too. (4) Call the MERCEDES-BENZ Customer Relations 800 Number.

What is the difference between BS 6 and BS 4?

What is BS4 (BSIV)? Before we understand about BS6 emission or BS6 compliant engine, let’s understand the current BS4 (BSIV) emission norms, engine, performance, and its significance. The BSES, which is the governing organization for emissions from all types of vehicles in the country, introduced the first emission norms with the name ‘India 2000’ in the year 2000. BS2 and BS3 were introduced in 2005 and 2010, while BS4 norms came into effect in 2017 with stricter emission standards or norms. Among the regulations set by the governing body, emission-related changes included tailpipe emissions, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), ignition control, etc. The most visible change was the AHO (Automatic Headlamp On), this is one of the norms under the BS4 which catered to the safety aspect of the new emission standards. What is BS6 (BSVI)? The governing body, Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES), regulates the output of pollutants from vehicles plying in the country. The Central Pollution Control Board which falls under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change sets the standards to regulate emissions from vehicles in India. The first emission standard or norm, introduced in the year 2000, was known as ‘India 2000’ and later, BS2 and BS3 were introduced in 2005 and 2010, respectively. While the first three emission norms were introduced at regular intervals, BS4 was introduced in 2017, after a gap of seven years. The BS6 emission standard is the sixth iteration of the emission norm and comparatively, it’s a substantial leap in terms of reducing pollution compared to the outgoing BS4. This is also because the BS5 (BSV) has been skipped in an effort to move to better emission norms. Difference Between BS4 (BSIV) and BS6 (BSVI): Both BSIV and BSVI are emission norms that set the maximum permissible levels for pollutants emitting from a car or a two-wheeler exhaust. Compared to the BS4, BS6 emission standards are stricter. While manufacturers use this change to update their vehicles with new features and safety standards, the biggest or the significant change comes in the form of stricter permissible emission norms. The below table offers an insight into the change in the permissible emission levels of BS6 vehicles compared to BS4 vehicles: What are BSI, BSII, BSIII, BSIV and BSVI Emission Norms? These are emission standards set by the governing body Bharat Safety Emission Standard (BSEB) to regulate the output of pollutants from vehicles plying on the road. The Central Pollution Control Board, under the Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change, sets the permissible pollution levels and timeline to implement the same by vehicle manufacturers. The abbreviation of ‘,BS,’ is ,Bharat Stage, and is suffixed with the iteration of the particular emission norms. The Indian emissions standards are based on the lines of ,European norms, commonly known as ,EURO 2,, ,EURO 3,, and so on. The first regulations with the moniker India 2000 were introduced in 2000, with the second and third iteration introduced in 2001 and 2005 with the moniker ,BSII (BS2), and ,BSIII (BS3),, respectively. The fourth iteration BSIV or BS4 was introduced in 2017 and the delay between the introduction of BS3 and BS4 resulted in fast-tracking the BSVI or BS6 emission instead of BSV or BS5 norms. Each of these emission norms has stricter emission standards compared to its predecessors. The table below offers an insight into the implementation timelines of the emission norms: Impact of BS6 on CNG Cars: Vehicle manufacturers will have to make minor changes or modifications to their diesel and petrol engines for the usage of CNG on BS6 vehicles. It’s only a matter of time before manufacturers start offering CNG compliant BS6 engines in the country. CNG powered BS6 cars or vehicles could be a stop-gap arrangement before the era of electric and hybrid vehicles are sold in the country. How Do BS6 (BSVI) Diesel Engines Work? The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) unit converts nitrogen oxide (NOx) into diatomic nitrogen and water (both are harmless products) with the help of a catalyst. The SCR unit uses AdBlue or diesel exhaust fluid to reduce NOx emissions. This fluid is made up of two parts – urea and deionized water. When exhaust gases come in contact with the AdBlue fluid, urea is converted to ammonia and carbon dioxide and in turn, the ammonia converts NOx into nitrogen and water vapour, thereby reducing pollutants. The AdBlue will be filled in a 10-litre capacity tank in smaller passenger vehicles. Currently, AdBlue is being sold by distributors at a premium rate; however, with the rapid increase in sales of BS6 diesel engines, the cost of AdBlue is expected to decline. List of BS6 Cars Available in India 2019: Ahead of the deadline of the implementation of BS6 compliant vehicles from 1 April 2020, several car and bike manufacturers have launched BS6 cars and bikes in India. Below is the list of BS6 cars and two-wheeler currently available to buy: BS6 Sedan Cars: Maruti Suzuki Dzire Hyundai Elantra Mercedes Benz E-Class Audi A6 BS6 Hatchback Cars: Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 Maruti Suzuki S-Presso Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Maruti Suzuki Swift Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.2-litre Maruti Suzuki Baleno Toyota Glanza BS6 MPV Cars: Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Maruti Suzuki XL6 BS6 SUVs: Kia Seltos Jeep Compass BS6 Crossover Cars: Maruti Suzuki XL6 Maruti Suzuki S-Presso List of BS6 Bikes/Two-Wheelers in India 2019: Here is the list of BSVI bikes in India that has been launched much before the deadline of 1 April 2020: BS6 Scooters:,Honda Activa 125 BS6 Two-Wheelers:,Hero Splendor iSmart 110Honda SP 125Yamaha FZ V 3.0Yamaha FZ S V 3.0Jawa Perak Why are there no Light switch on BS4 Bikes? All two-wheelers, including motorcycles and scooters that were manufactured from 1 April 2017 featured the Automatic Headlamp On (AHO). As the moniker suggests, all two-wheelers are required to have the headlights on at all times. In compliance with the BS4 norms, all new two-wheelers will ,not ,have a light switch for the headlight, since it needs to be always on. However, the pass and the low and high beam light switch were kept untouched. The reason behind the introduction of AHO was keeping both the rider’s and pedestrian’s safety. The light remains on during the day as well, which makes it visible to passersby. FAQs About BS6 Vehicles: Here are the frequently asked questions about BS6 cars and bikes in India: What happens if you fill BS6 fuel in BS4 car? You can fill BSVI fuel in BSIV cars or older models. Sulphur in fuel acts as a lubricant inside the engine and burns efficiently. The BSVI fuel has lesser sulphur; however, it contains additives which helps in the lubrication of the engine. Can BS6 engine run on BS4 fuel? Does it meet the BS6 emission standards? The emission from the tailpipe of a BS6 vehicle should match the BS6 norms and this is possible only if BS6 fuel is filled in BS6 cars. While a BS6 car can run on BS4 fuel, it may not comply with the BS6 norms. Is BS6 fuel expensive compared to a BS4 fuel? Prior to the nationwide rollout of BS6 fuel, it has been implemented in Delhi and the NCR and the prices are not different between BS6 and BS4 fuel. However, this may change once it’s implemented across the country due to input costs incurred by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) towards upgrading their facilities. Can I convert my old car to meet BS6 emission norms on my own? You can convert your old car to BS6 standards; however, it requires time and money. Also, it’s illegal. What’s next after BS6? Currently, there are no new emission norms has been set by the governing body. However, there may be a second version of the BS6 which will include Real Driving Emissions (RDE) cycle. As per this law, the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) will test new vehicles in real-world conditions to ascertain the level of pollution. Currently, the test is done in a controlled environment. What are CAFE norms? The Central government has proposed to introduce Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) in sync with the global auto industry. Under these norms, cars are expected to be 30% fuel efficient from 2022 and by the end of 2021, it’s expected to be increased by another 10%. Through CAFE norms, fuel efficiency will be decided on how many litres does a vehicle consume while running 100kms. Why the skip from BS4 to BS6 and not BS5? The first emission norm was introduced in 2000, while the second and third iteration was introduced in 2005 and 2010. The BS4 was implemented in 2017, the big gap prompted the government to skip BS5 and jump to BS6 in an effort to reduce pollution in the country. Do BS4 vehicles require a pollution certificate? Yes, all vehicles plying on Indian roads require Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate as per the Motor Vehicle Act. What will happen to BS4 vehicles after 2020? No new BS4 vehicles will be manufactured or registered by the ,RTO, after 1st April 2020 when the BS6 emission norms are implemented. However, existing BS4 vehicles will be allowed to run on public roads. Currently, there is no deadline set for BS4 vehicles to stop playing on public roads. What is the difference between a Euro 6 and a BS6 engine? The emission limits for both the Euro 6 and BS6 engine are numerically equivalent, although it could be slightly tweaked to Indian standards. What is the difference between BS4 and BS6 car performance? The BSVI engine is relatively cleaner than the BSIV engine leading to lower combustion. Add new components to the exhaust system and it reduces the overall performance of the car to a certain extent, although not that significant. That said, vehicle manufacturers are developing engines which offer a balance between performance, efficiency and emissions. What is the difference between BS4 and BS6 cars fuel economy? The difference between BSIV and BSVI cars’ fuel efficiency is minimal. The BS6 Maruti Dzire has an ARAI certified fuel efficiency of 21.21 km/l while the outgoing BS4 Maruti Dzire returned a mileage of 22 km/l. A slight decline in mileage although not significant. Thankyou for reading.

After Volkswagen, now it’s Audi who’s paying a fine of €800 million. With such big companies becoming incapable of controlling the diesel emissions, do you think we’re close to the end of diesel engines?

This is bit of a misunderstanding of the actual illegal action by VGA. A lot of people possibly because of poor jounalism by jornalists that dont understand the issue I will attempt to explain it. VW group diesel engines pass emissions tests. When they are tested in a laboratory they pass. When they go out on the road they do not pass. Why? The VW group fitted a software patch that detected an emission test and controlled the vehicle to pass otherwise the emission controls were disabled. Why did they do this? The real reason has not been revealed but maybe because the VW group have been using a larger diesel engine for the same class of vehicle ie many rivals use a 1.6litre diesel for a Golf sized vehicle while VW was using a 2.0litre. Could it be that the 2.0 litre engine being an older design could not keep actual NOx within spec in the real world without using a lot of 'adBlue' (urea) to get it to pass and they feared a customer reaction. Is there some other reason? Suffice to say other manufacturers have been able to make their engines pass and the later series of VW diesels pass. In the initial test by a University where the high NOx output was discovered the BMW and Mercedes Benz that were in convoy passed the real world driving test. In answer to the last part of your question - We are at the end of all Internal Combustion Engines (Petrol, Diesel, Gas ie LPG/CNG) as they will be banned from sale in many cities starting in 2025.
