It's usual for the tanks to hold enough DEF for such long mileages, but it's also worth to consider cars often resort to both EGR and DEF while heavy-duty trucks and buses usually have either one or another, so a car would use fewer DEF proportionately to the fuel consumption, even though the DEF tank of a truck might hold a volume proportionately closer to that of the fuel tank.
