Underbody protection – AdBlue Tank – Aluminium – Toyota ProAce 2018+

De Aluminum bottom plate protection for the AdBlue tank Toyota ProAce from 2018 protects an often overlooked but essential component for modern Euro 6.2 diesel vans: the AdBlue tank of the SCR system. Thanks to the 5 mm thick aluminium, this plate combines solid impact resistance with a significant weight advantage of just 7,30 kg — more than 4 kg lighter than the steel variant — and complete resistance to rust. For ProAce owners who value weight savings (relevant for fuel consumption and effective payload) or corrosion resistance (relevant for road salt and coastal climates), this is the choice.

What is AdBlue and why protect?

AdBlue is an aqueous urea solution that is injected into the exhaust system of modern Euro 6+ diesel engines as part of the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. It reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to legally permitted levels. Without a functioning AdBlue supply, your vehicle does not meet emission standards — and modern engine management systems will then limit power or eventually prevent the vehicle from starting.

The AdBlue tank is typically located under the vehicle, near the fuel tank. As such, it is exposed to the same risks as the fuel tank — but with different consequences in the event of damage:

• Leaking AdBlue tank – the system detects fluid loss and puts the engine in “limp mode”
• Final refusal to start – modern engine management systems block starting attempts in case of low AdBlue level or leakage detection
• Costly replacement – a new AdBlue tank, including installation and associated piping, easily costs €300 to €800 or more
• Downtime costs – critical for a commercially used company van
• MOT failure in case of leakage or visible damage to emission components
• Loss of income for self-employed professionals who use their ProAce daily

For ProAce owners who use their vehicle commercially and depend on reliability, protecting the AdBlue tank is therefore a logical investment — especially since the AdBlue tank in a work van is frequently exposed to various surfaces.

Important: exclusively for the ProAce commercial vehicle

Before you order this product, it is crucial to check that your vehicle the ProAce commercial vehicle version is. This product is unsuitable in front of:

• Toyota ProAce Verso (passenger car with windows, 8-9 seats) — non-standard AdBlue tank position or mounting
• Toyota Pro Ace City (smaller commercial vehicle on the Citroën Berlingo / Peugeot Partner platform) — entirely different vehicle
• ProAce Electric versions — no internal combustion engine, so no AdBlue system

You can recognize the commercial vehicle version by:

• Solid side walls without rear side windows (only front cabin windows)
• Cargo space behind the driver's cab instead of seats
• Two or three seats in the front, no passenger transport behind

Unsure about your model? Send us your registration certificate or VIN number, and we will check it for you.

Does your ProAce have AdBlue (Euro 6.2 or newer)?

From 2018, the Euro 6.2 emission standard was introduced for the ProAce diesel versions, meaning that most diesel versions use AdBlue from that moment on. You can recognize an AdBlue-equipped ProAce by:

• Create a AdBlue filler cap (often next to or near the fuel filler cap, usually marked in blue)
• Create a AdBlue tank under the vehicle (separate small tank next to the main fuel tank)
• Create a AdBlue level meter in the instrument panel
• Mention "Euro 6.2" of “AdBlue” in the vehicle registration certificate

Does your ProAce not have an AdBlue system (older Euro 5 versions)? Then this product is not suitable for you.

Vehicle-specific for the second generation ProAce from 2018

This base plate is specifically designed for the Toyota ProAce commercial vehicle from model year 2018 — the versions with the Euro 6.2 emission standard and associated AdBlue system. The plate fits the ProAce built on the Stellantis EMP2 platform, which shares its bodywork and technology with the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, and Opel Vivaro (from 2019).

Why an aluminum base plate?

Aluminium combines solid protection with a number of properties that steel does not offer — properties that are particularly attractive for AdBlue tank protection:

• Significantly lighter – only 7,30 kg, over 4 kg less than the steel variant; relevant for fuel consumption and effective load capacity
• Corrosion resistant – resistant to rust, ideal for the use of road salt in winter, coastal climates, and agricultural applications with fertilizers
• Solid impact resistance – due to the greater material thickness (5 mm compared to 3 mm steel), the protection remains at the same level
• No maintenance on the material itself – no periodic rust treatment required
• Premium look – aluminium looks premium than steel, a plus for representative company vehicles

Who chooses aluminium over steel?

Aluminium is particularly attractive for applications where weight or corrosion outweighs absolute impact resistance:

• Courier and transport companies – weight savings translate into lower fuel costs and higher load capacity
• Fleet and business users with high mileage – weight saving and no maintenance on the material itself
• Vehicles deployed in coastal or winter climates – where road salt and salt deposits attack corrosion-sensitive parts
• Camper conversions on the ProAce platform – every kilo less dead weight under the vehicle counts
• Representative vehicles – where visibility under the vehicle matters (showrooms, demo units, premium commercial vehicles)

Fully protected: combine with the engine compartment plate

This AdBlue tank plate is intended as addition on the engine compartment protection of your ProAce. We also carry the in our range Steel or Aluminium Underbody Protection for the Engine Compartment of the ProAce 2016+/Verso 2016-2024 for the 2.0 BlueHDi version. For those who wish to configure the complete package in the same version, the aluminium engine compartment plate can be combined with this aluminium AdBlue plate.

Custom designed

The plate is shaped to precisely follow the ProAce's AdBlue tank while maintaining ground clearance. This ensures a tight fit with the chassis structure and prevents interference with AdBlue lines, vents, level sensors, or tank mounting straps.

What is this base plate used for?

The ProAce is a versatile commercial vehicle, whicharbwhere AdBlue protection provides added value:

• Courier and parcel deliverers – daily intensive use over mixed surfaces, curbs, and parking lots
• Construction companies and contractors – deployment on construction sites, sites with rubble and metal scraps
• Agricultural companies – farmyards, meadows and unpaved roads
• Service vans – installation, maintenance and mechanic companies
• Mobile workshops – electrical installations, technicians, small trades
• Camper conversions – ProAce camper builds deployed in remote areas
• Vehicle fleet companies – where reliability and downtime limitation are critical
• Shuttle and transport companies in an urban area with many speed bumps and curbs
• Parcel and urban logistics – where daily urban routes present upright obstacles

Installation

Weighing only 7,30 kg, this aluminium plate is considerably easier to handle than the 11,40 kg steel version, but the position of the AdBlue tank — directly under the chassis with various pipes and sensors that must be kept carefully clear — requires precise alignment. Correct alignment is essential to prevent interference with AdBlue lines, vents, level sensors, and tank mounting straps. The manufacturer specifies a guideline time of 15-30 minutes. To be sure, we recommend installation in a professionally equipped workshop. Our mechanics will be happy to assist you via our installation service.
