Diesel engines power around 75% of our heavy construction equipment and it’s projected that the construction industry will grow by 85% before 2030. This highlights the prevalence of diesel engines in machinery worldwide. As of 2013, all plant machinery comes

Limp mode is a security function that activates after your vehicle detects an engine fault. Think of it as a ‘cleaning in progress’ sign. Except instead of cleaning, your machine tries to fix itself, and instead of asking for caution,

If you rent out your machinery, you’d be restricting your potential for profit by keeping rentals to the UK exclusively. Businesses can benefit exponentially by opening themselves up to international export markets. As machinery is more expensive to buy or

If you own a diesel-powered fleet or vehicle, chances are you’ll either have a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or AdBlue system as a form of emission control. DPF systems are common in diesel engines, but often, they come with a

For those involved in the industry, it’s no secret that buying machinery in countries like the USA, Australia, and many African nations can be more expensive than for those in Europe. In fact, this phenomenon has led to changes in

All new diesel engines come equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and AdBlue system. Older models, made before 2014, might only have the DPF system as AdBlue became a vital part in the Euro 6 regulations aimed at fighting

Most machinery from 2014 onwards will have a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system in place to reduce emissions. This involves the controlled injection of a clear fluid called AdBlue into the exhaust chain. AdBlue fluid initiates a chemical reaction that

The global market for construction machinery is set to be worth almost $90 billion by 2020. It’s a massive industry that has seen significant development and advancement over recent years. Yet, in some places, there’s still a demand for older,

Heavy machinery is a huge investment for some. The costs involved can vary greatly depending on what type of machine you need and the country you’re buying from. But, to put it into perspective, the costs of maintaining heavy machinery

While plant machinery is a big industry across and within the UK, there is an even higher demand and potential for profit in export markets. In 2018, the UK’s export of heavy machinery came to $2.4 billion, up 15.3% on

In 2017, the number of AdBlue breakdowns the AA dealt with hit around 23,000. AdBlue-related breakdowns are all too common and expensive to fix, which is why it’s important to spot the signs of a failing SCR system as soon
