From the beginning of last year, all vehicles with air-conditioning produced in the EU could no longer use R134a for environmental reasons. Since then, the industry has been using R1234yf, usually known under gas producer Honeywell’s trade name ‘Solstice’.

National Refrigerants is an authorised distributor in the UK of R1234yf and it plans to use its exhibition space at Automechanika Birmingham to promote awareness of the gas.

Simon Ravenscroft from the company explained: “The main change apart from the new gas being much more environmentally friendly is that R1234yf has been classified as ‘mildly flammable’.

A joint statement has been issued by the Directors of Klarius Ltd relating to charges dating back to 2013 over alleged deliberate mislabelling of type-approved catalysts and DPFs. The statement reads as follows:

"Personally we are surprised that this issue has been raised again after it was investigated thoroughly by the VCA over three years ago after we self-reported these same issues and it will come as no surprise that the people named vigorously deny any activity prohibited by the Companies Act.
