Mazda’s new CX-7 four-wheel-drive uses a urine-like solution to cut its tailpipe emissions. By RICHARD BLACKBURN and BRUCE NEWTON.

Mazda’s latest four-wheel-drive likes a wee drink.

The Mazda CX-7 uses a special man-made liquid similar to human urine to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The compound, called AdBlue, is a mixture of roughly one-third pure urea and two-thirds demineralised water.

It is already widely used in the trucking industry in Europe and Australia and is common in diesel cars in Europe, but Mazda is the first to use the technology on a passenger vehicle in Australia.

WOW.....pretty good stuff.
