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

“The EU and the German Association of the Automotive Industry certification system audit Adblue production across Europe.”

For this reason, he added, the tanks are attracting interest in European countries as storage tanks for special chemicals such as diesel oil and acid, along with Adblue.

He noted that the alternative transportation possibilities from Türkiye to European countries facilitate the export of tanks where liquid food products such as water and chemical products are stored.

Kaya stressed that they produced 11 units of 20-ton polyethylene storage tanks within the project’s scope: “Adblue-specific sleeves and connection equipment were used in the tanks.”

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