Stage 1 remapping in Worksop
Bassetlaw recorded 103 privately kept vans for every 1,000 private cars in the council area at the end of June 2026, well above the England figure of 81. Almost all of those vans, 95.8%, are diesel. Across the district, then, vans do a large share of the work, and that shapes what Stage 1 remapping is for. On a van the useful change is torque low in the rev range, so a loaded vehicle pulls away and climbs without constant gear changes. The remap is a software adjustment to fuel, boost and timing, kept within what the engine can take, and the gearbox and clutch set how far it should go on any van.
