Stage 1 remapping in Caerphilly
More than a fifth of working residents in the Caerphilly built-up area travelled 10 km or more to work in the 2021 Census: 22.6%, above the England and Wales figure of 19%. Only 2.5% went 30 km or more, against 4.4%, so most of the longer commutes fell between 10 km and 30 km. That middle band, longer than the 9 km hop to Cardiff but short of a long-distance run, is where Stage 1 remapping on a diesel is felt day to day. The change to fuel, boost and timing is made in software, inside the engine's limits, and lifts torque in the middle of the rev range, so climbs and merging into traffic take less effort.
