Apologies for missing your deadline, I ’ ve tried to answer the questions below and have attached a copy of the slide you sent over with the additional data.
As a more general point, jug supply it becoming less important to the industry and our readers and as such we have reduced the amount of information we publish in the Monitor. However, there has been no change in the way we collect this information. In some instances retail locations will stop stocking DEF, meaning overall growth rates are minimal.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Chris,Thank you very much for the update from the latest issue of the Monitor. I do have a few additional questions.
1. In the map of the NA retail pump network and jug sales location density, the tips of Texas and Florida are cut off. Could you please send a *.jpg or other image file type of this complete map? That would allow me to size it to fit in my slide presentation without losing content or resolution. Do you still need this image? Unfortunately the original map file wasn ’ t stored properly so I ’ d have to ask one of the data team to re-visit.
2. Also, the non-contiguous states are not included in that map (Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico) and I understand some information on sales locations in those states might be available in table form. See attached
a. Would you be able to send me an April 2013 version of a table similar to the one copied below from April 2012, titled, “ Retail sites stocking DEF jugs by state and province ” ? I think that would be very helpful to provide a sense of the DEF distribution in the least-served areas. See attached (we don ’ t produce this in the publication anymore)
b. If I am reading the information correctly from the 2012 table, the “ OEM ”column and possibly some entries on the “ Other”column may have included jug sales that are not bulk DEF in the filling lane of a truck stop. Especially in the least served areas, we would very much like to see information on retail sites (including OEM ’ s) stocking DEF jugs (hopefully this would include places like Walmart). Our interests are in availability of DEF to drivers of all diesel vehicles including non-road mobile machinery , not just the long-haul trucks. I apologize if my requests have been unclear, but hopefully you can share whatever version of this information you think would meet my needs. The table you ’ ve pasted below and the attached only show the numbers for jug sales of DEF, this doesn ’ t not include filling lanes. The reason the truck stop chains are included below is that they sell packaged DEF at a location which does not have aDEF pump. The other column relates to other non-OEM branded locations which aren ’ t operated by Pilot, Love ’ s and TA, such as SAPP BROS. discoverDEF.com only tracks locations that are accessible to medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, this does not include stores such as Walmart. We are working on a retail locator designed to cover off-road vehicles, but this is at a very early stage and there is no data available for this segment.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Lauren

Hello Lauren,
Apologies for not getting back to you on this sooner, I wanted to hold off until the latest edition of the Monitor was published on 9 May and I was travelling last week.
Please find the two pages of the Monitor relevant to your request attached. This includes an update on the DEF retail network developments, a map showing the truck stops offering DEF at the pump and the jug sales location density, and a complete list of the number of truck stops offering bulk DEF at the pump by US state and Canadian province. We only track jug locations accessible by heavy-duty trucks, so some retail locations, such as Walmart, aren ’ t included on the map.
To answer your question - there are no regular’ fuelling locations offering DEF at the pump and we only include truck stops that offer bulk DEF at the filling lane.

Please don ’ t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Christopher Goodfellow Analyst

Christopher,
I have not seen a reply to my message of April 23. If you are able to send the May 2013 DEF information as well as answer my question about retail locations, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,Lauren

Christopher,
Thank you for your reply. We appreciate your willingness to share these data with us. We would be most interested in the May 2013 information. Part of our challenge is to predict the state of the DEF network in the year 2014 and beyond, so the most recent data are preferred.
I have a clarifying question about the table you describe as showing retail pump sites by state/province and supplier. Does this include refueling stations that are not truck stops? Are there any regular refueling stations (not truck stops) that sell DEF at the pump? If not, that simplifies things.
Thanks for your help, Lauren

Hello Lauren,I hope this finds you well.
My colleague, Rebecca Shellim, passed me your request for information on the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) supply chain because I work on the AdBlue & DEF Monitor. We are able to supply the details on the retail network for internal and docket use, including the following:
· Retail pump network and jug sales location density map · A table showing retail pump sites by state/province and supplier
The retail map plots every truck stop offering bulk DEF at the pump and the state-bystate density of retail locations selling jugs of DEF (there are already 6,500 jug locations). We can either send the information that was published in the February 2013 edition of the Monitor or from the next issue, due to be published in the first week of May, depending on what you prefer?
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
Christopher Goodfellow Analyst
