Sejong-si Activates Emergency Management System for Diesel Exhaust Fluid with 'TF Formation'

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will form a task force (TF) and activate an emergency management system to respond to the unstable supply of urea solution.

On the 10th, the city announced that it held the first meeting of the urea solution emergency management TF, led by Deputy Mayor Ryu Im-cheol. The TF was established to share the current usage status and related trends of urea solution and to discuss efficient countermeasures.

Among the 505 administrative management vehicles available to the city, 276 vehicles use urea solution, accounting for 54.7% of the total.

Among these, 45 out of 102 fire, ambulance, and disaster response vehicles (44.1%) are using urea solution.

Currently, the city has secured 2,700 liters of urea solution available for fire, ambulance, and disaster response vehicles, which is enough for 10 months of use.

However, for general administrative vehicles such as official buses, cleaning vehicles, road maintenance vehicles, and snow removal vehicles, the supply of urea solution is relatively unstable despite having enough stock until the end of the year.

Accordingly, the city plans to respond to the shortage of urea solution by coordinating with related agencies to adjust the operating hours of general administrative vehicles or prioritize deploying vehicles that do not require urea solution to the field.

Additionally, to ensure that local public transportation operates without disruption, the city will minimize the operation of buses using urea solution and establish and implement emergency measures such as route adjustments and reorganization of operating hours in preparation for a prolonged situation.

The city also plans to intensify crackdowns to prevent hoarding activities in the private sector.

Deputy Mayor Ryu said, "We will respond swiftly to the urea solution emergency to ensure that there are no problems with citizen safety and public service support."
