Stage 1 remapping in Llanelli
There were 146 privately kept vans for every 1,000 private cars in the Carmarthenshire council area at the end of June 2026, well above the Wales figure of 117, and 96.3% of those vans ran on diesel. Across the county that adds up to a lot of working diesels, and for a van, Stage 1 remapping is mostly about pulling power when it is loaded or towing. The fuel, boost and timing settings are changed in software, within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. The gearbox and clutch still set how far a van's remap should go, which is why the work starts from a remap file matched to the vehicle.
