Insufficient supply of urea due to shortage of national standard


Comprehensive feedback from industry experts and users, although currently only four months away from the full implementation of heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the country, and most countries have actually implemented the four countries, but the market supply of car urea is still not enough. Part of the reason for this is the lack of national standards for vehicle urea.

When the reporter visited the user, it was found that the two sources for the purchase of urea for vehicles are urea filling stations and small-packed urea sold in the market, such as barrels and bags. Due to the lack of dedicated urea filling facilities, users generally choose to purchase urea in small packages.

The shortage of urea filling stations was a common concern in the industry. For the National IV diesel vehicle using the SCR technology line, urea has become a consumable product and needs to be filled at any time. In other words, urea, like diesel, is the “second fuel” for the National IV diesel vehicle, but now urea filling stations are still scarce compared to gas stations. Several commercial vehicle companies had conducted a survey earlier this year. Among the 688 gas stations surveyed, only six supplied urea, of which only one gas station had urea filling machines, and five supplied small-package urea. The supply rate of urea in the gas stations in the surveyed area was very low, only 1%. In the 113 large auto parts markets or service stations in 54 prefecture-level cities surveyed, only 43 dealers provided In small packages of urea, the supply rate of urea was 38%.

It is not difficult to see from this survey that even in the filling stations with dedicated urea filling facilities, small-package urea is still the main force of urea supply. The relevant person in charge of the company's production of urea for automobile yasehuanhua said that the shortage of filling stations is an objective situation. There are many ways to build urea filling stations, and cooperation with gas stations is one of the ways to build an independent filling station. In one form, after specific standards for urea-filled special facilities for vehicles are clearly defined, China can use two methods to build in parallel and increase the number of filling stations in a short period of time.

The recent survey of the automotive urea market by the Secretary General of the Commercial Vehicles Division of the Federation of Trade Unions Yang Zaijun also showed that the urea used by most users was small-packaged urea. Although the quality of urea used in the market is uneven, urea prices are still rising sharply. This shows that vehicle urea is indeed in short supply in the market.

Some industry experts believe that the cause of the shortage of urea in vehicles is not the lack of production, but the lack of national standards for urea. Because there are no national standards, some companies are hesitant to enter the urea production industry or what kind of technology is used to produce urea, which reduces production. Some poor-quality urea products enter the market and lead to a shortage of qualified urea supply. The difficulty in purchasing qualified urea increases and the price increases. In addition, the unclear standard for urea-specific filling facilities will also dampen investors’ enthusiasm for investing in such facilities.
