Bluetec Info

[HSpiering]

Would someone set me straight. (Thing about this forum someone always does). :-laf The new dodge has a bluetec decal?? So I hear. It was my thinking that dodge was not bluetec. That implies to diesel motors that use Urea.

Blutec is the Mercedes technology used on the 6. 7, no urea.

That’s my point, I understand Mercedes injected Urea. Hence Bluetec.

Bluetec just means Mercedes, not Urea.

Current Mercedes models adds diesel exhaust fluid and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) on to the exhaust which they call BlueTec with Adblue. The 2010 C&C models will have a urea system but the 2500 and 3500 models will continue to use the traditional BlueTec system without urea. They are two seperate systems traditional BlueTec (the badge on the tailgate) and BlueTec with AdBlue (or exhaust fluid).



Traditional BlueTec - Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, DeNox catalytic converter, and DPF



The BlueTec with fluid - DOC, DPF and SCR



Either design controls nitrogen oxides and depending on which one will work the best to control the emissions that is the one used. This is the basic design but either can have a few different components added to meet emissions.

Rumour has it the bluetech badging will go away now that Daimler has left the building
