Emission reduction in diesel engines
Since 2015, diesel engines must meet Euro 6 standards in order to ensure minimal impact on the environment. To do this, engines have several systems in place:Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
The EGR system is in place to reduce pollutants, specifically NOx emissions, coming from the exhaust.

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
The DOC oxidises unburnt fuel to CO2. Because of this system, hydrocarbons present in fuels are prevented from being blown out of the exhaust.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter works to reduce particulates (smoke) from the exhaust fumes, making sure the exhaust gases are clean and have as minimal impact on the environment as the Euro 6 standards can allow.
