Diesel trucks and the people who drive them are often described as the lifeblood of Australia — almost everything we buy in this country spends some time on the road.The National Road Transport Association says China has stopped exporting urea, which is used to make AdBlueNow, the transport industry is warning of a potential crisis that could see the nation's diesel trucks grind to a halt.
"So what they've said is that they do not want to export any urea to try and keep the price of local fertiliser down. He warned if Australia did not come up with a new supply of urea, and therefore AdBlue, a crisis loomed. "I had a member call the other day. They've got 250 prime movers. So they're a big organisation, a lot of their fuel they buy in bulk — they are basically out of AdBlue next week," he said."If this is not solved by then, then we have a major problem.""So you're not got anything getting delivered to supermarkets, you've got power not being generated," he said.
David Smith runs a family trucking business in South Australia. He's also the chair of the Australian Trucking Association. "But the shortage is here and it is only a matter of time. Unless we can source some extra urea to make the product, it is going to have a direct impact.

Time to start collecting everyone’s urine? 😂🚽
Headline misleading. Shortage of ad blue. Just drive without it until supply comes back. It's also an argument to produce it in Australia as well.
Garbage.
Plenty of camels
I was led to believe that diesel is a by-product of petrol 🤷♀️
AugustusPember3 A critical situation of our own making.
What happens when USA supported by Australia goes to war with China over Taiwan, and is humiliated. And China reinforces its claim to reparations from Australia by blocking Australia's fuel shipments from ME. auspol ausdef .NSC_ANU
sparkes_david It's because of gas shortages.
Brought to you buy the Gas lobby via . A 1 second google reveals you can delete the adblue thingy widget?! Back to issue A. How many days supply of diesel is in the country?
First thought: how about we haul less shit around? As in: consume less! Second thought: imagine we were leaders in EV/hydrogen technology, not the laggards the ever lying ScottMorrisonMP turned us into. We might have a solution in place.
In the race to become green, people have forgotten how much the transport industry is needed in this country
No doubt we will soon hear 'it is not a race' and 'we are at the front of the queue'.
So it is only available from one country. No redundancy. It is embarrassing that we are in this situation.
😂😂😂 who did that poll on Dan's popularity? lol not even his own party can stand him!
Perhaps electric trains would be the go. Trains can transport much more than any road train at any one time. Railway trains and trams are better for the environment, make roads safer…
We had a brilliant rail freight system years ago and it also made excellent profits without the massive greenhouse gasses
Not many of Australia's trucks use Ad blue.
Why does someone just piss in the petrol tank... for your urine contains a lot of urea..... especially as one litre contains 9.3 grams...
We will suffer more without diesel than from Covid Australia's about to pay for years of govt environmental 'green' initiatives that were just public service job creation schemes Why not apply the same energy to fixing our fuel dependency that we have over Covid? auspol urea
So all we really need to make urea is a solid supply of natural gas which we have plenty of....Oh wait we sold it all to China and Japan.
So that decision to store our fuel reserve in the US is working a treat.....yet another Librorts Party policy fail.
Everything is a crisis with the ABC and ps, it’s pig piss, we have pigs here in Australia and worse case you bypass the euro junk filters
Should we start collecting our pee instead of flushing? Can we sell our pee? abcnews auspol
Indication Conservative’s hate of ethanol is costing us all!!
Can diesel engines still use fuel, or with a little modification, without this AdBlue?
you even know what diesel is, you cant have a crisis unless they stop making petrol. idiots
You can get urea from piss...Just sayin'
Good job Angus, Storing all Australia's fuel reserves in Texas
What's that about going electric again?
Is that because someone had a hood idea to store our reserves in America?
😵💫
Railway!!!!!!
Oh well, the ecosystem is collapsing anyway. As Vonnegut might say 'hi ho'
