Hanover, 28. September 2004
Yara International ASA (Yara) and IDENTIC AB (IDENTIC) have reached a Pan-European Partner Agreement for the supply, service and support of storage and refilling systems for use with Yara's Air1 Concept for AdBlue.
Diesel powered trucks and buses will use AdBlue to operate an exhaust after-treatment technology known as Selective Catalytic Reduction to meet stringent new exhaust standards and reduce NOx emissions.
Yara have introduced the Air1 Total Service Provider Concept to supply vehicle manufactures, oil companies and fleet operators with a complete solution for delivery, storage and handling of AdBlue throughout Europe.
"The Air1 Concept will benefit from IDENTIC's focus on quality and reliability," says Marianne Øverlie, Director Air Treatment at Yara. "IDENTIC is a leading supplier of systems for handling fuels and chemicals and brings valuable experience to this partnership".
Under the terms of the agreement between Yara and IDENTIC, IDENTIC will supply Yara with a range of modular and scalable storage and refilling systems for AdBlue. These systems will be used by heavy-duty vehicle operators who have chosen Yara's Air1 Concept.
IDENTIC's new Spill-free Vehicle Refilling (SVR) nozzle for AdBlue will feature in the refilling systems supplied by Yara. This SVR technology ensures that vehicles can refill with AdBlue in a clean, reliable and efficient way.
"IDENTIC highly values this co-operation with Yara. Our storage and refilling system, including our new SVR nozzle, has been developed in close co-operation with the vehicle and chemical industries, specifically for AdBlue," says Sylvid Källberg, Managing Director of IDENTIC".
The combination of Yara's expertise and extensive resources for the production and distribution of AdBlue, together with IDENTIC's storage and refilling systems will provide the market with a professional full-service concept, securing an efficient and reliable supply of AdBlue.
