Additional Notes

  • All Challenger 1000 series Gen2 models (1038, 1042, 1046, 1050) employ selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for emissions control.
  • The AdBlue tank capacity across all Gen2 variants maintains a uniform 84-liter specification under normal use conditions.
  • An 84-liter AdBlue reservoir indicates substantial operating range between service intervals, typical for heavy-duty applications where SCR fluid consumption correlates with engine runtime and load cycles.
  • Consistency in tank capacity across the four Gen2 engine variants suggests standardized SCR system architecture within the 1000 series platform.
