New Mitsubishi Pajero requires AdBlue for emissions control
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 01:01 · Archive
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Pajero will require AdBlue to reduce emissions from its diesel engine.
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Pajero will require AdBlue to help reduce nitrous oxide emissions as the brand looks to maximise efficiency in its diesel engines. AdBlue is mixed with exhaust gases as they enter a vehicle's catalytic converter. It is common in trucks and buses and in an increasing number of diesel-powered large SUVs and utes as emissions standards become stricter.
The new Pajero follows the current-generation Triton, launched in 2024, in requiring AdBlue. Toyota's Prado and Ford Everest also require it, though the GWM Tank 500 does not. The Pajero features an updated 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine from the Triton and is the first Mitsubishi diesel to achieve Euro 6d certification, ahead of rivals certified to the less stringent Euro 5 standard.
Mitsubishi Australia product strategy manager Rod Pinedo said the company understood that some buyers may not welcome the additional maintenance element. However, he stated that meeting Euro 6d criteria and delivering better fuel economy and lower carbon dioxide emissions than competitors made the requirement worthwhile for Mitsubishi.
