Stage 1 remapping in Rhyl
Two in five privately kept cars in the Denbighshire council area ran on diesel at the end of June 2026: 40.1%, against 36.1% across Wales. Petrol accounted for 50.6%, below the Wales figure of 53.7%. Across the county, then, diesel still powers a large share of everyday cars, and those are the engines Stage 1 remapping is aimed at. The remap adjusts fuel, boost and timing in software and stays within the engine's limits. On a diesel it brings stronger torque through the middle of the rev range, so the car pulls harder from low speed, copes better with a full load and needs fewer gear changes when the road climbs.

Yet 8.7% of working residents travelled 30 km or more to work, nearly double the 4.4% for England and Wales. For a long daily run like that, a diesel with Stage 1 needs fewer downshifts and passes slower traffic more easily.
