Urban and depot-based diesel vans spend a surprising amount of their working life heating an exhaust filter rather than moving parcels. This piece separates the direct fuel penalty of regeneration from the far larger costs of oil dilution, forced workshop regens and lost road time, then sets out a route review and driver briefing that reduce both.
AdBlue is bought by the litre, stored in bulk and often left off the fuel-management spreadsheet, yet poor quality, crystallisation and over-ordering can quietly add hundreds of pounds per van.
