Are catalytic converters required on diesel cars?
From 1994 onwards, they were required to have a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. From 2008 onwards (in the US), a set of emissions standards requiring highway diesel engines to have a Diesel Particulate Filter went into effect. From 2012 onwards, engines over a certain displacement required a complete aftertreatment system, with a DOC, DPF, and Selective Catalytic Reduction, which uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
