It appears that the price of being green is falling, as the price of AdBlue continues to plummet. Not too long ago we were told by the AdBlue manufacturers that the urea solution needed in all SCR-equipped Euro 4 and 5 trucks would cost roughly half the price of diesel – but that appears to be a gross over-estimation on their behalf.
Last week I spoke to David Simpson, the MD of Sheffield-based RW Simpson. He’s buying it in 1,000-litre IBC dispensers for just 26p per litre. “You just need to shop around a bit to get the best prices” he says.
But perhaps he’s not shopping around enough, because I’ve heard of even better deals. One parcel carrier, who wishes to remain anonymous, was angry that he had just paid 21p per litre for his latest batch of AdBlue after discovering that a rival had purchased it for just 17p per litre.
How much are you paying?
