Stage 1 remapping in Craigavon
The Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon council area had 100 privately kept vans for every 1,000 private cars at the end of June 2026, slightly above the Northern Ireland figure of 98, and 97.6% of its 11,947 vans ran on diesel. For van owners, Stage 1 remapping is mostly about carrying weight. Extra mid-range torque helps a loaded van pull away, climb and tow with fewer downshifts, and how far a van's remap should go depends on its gearbox and clutch. The change is made in software, to the fuel, boost and timing settings, within the engine's limits. Nothing is bolted on, and your insurer needs to know.
