Much of this is thanks to two-way oxidation catalytic converters being combined with diesel particulate filters (DPF), both of which control emissions in ways that would not have been possible without huge advances in engine efficiency, electronic control systems, low-sulphur fuels and
lubricating oils, plus the introduction of high-pressure direct fuel injection and multi-nozzle injectors.
