ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish firm Karmod’s storage tanks will be used in Adblue production in Italy.

Karmod Plastic Group Sales Manager Selcuk Kaya said the storage tanks are specially produced for Adblue production.
Kaya emphasized that the company products are popular in the European market, saying: "As it is known, Adblue is a chemical substance that allows diesel engine vehicles to operate in a more environmentally friendly manner and contributes to reducing air pollution."
“The EU and the German Association of the Automotive Industry certification system audit Adblue production across Europe.”

He stressed that The production the firm loaded on three trucks was transferred from Istanbul to Trieste port by Ro-Ro transportation.
