Slovakia’s trucking companies are reported to have started “panic-buying” AdBlue after the country’s nitrogen fertilizer and chemicals producer Duslo a.s. halted production in mid-August due to soaring natural gas prices.
Duslo, which is a unit of the Prague, Czech Republic-based Agrofert Group, operates one of Europe’s largest AdBlue plants. AdBlue is an essential additive for diesel trucks to reduce levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) pollution from their engines.
