GDI engines help improve fuel economy and therefore reduce CO 2 emissions; however, they can have higher particulate emissions due to shorter fuel/air mixing times in the cylinder compared to multiport fuel injection engines. This difference drives different choices for optimal filter technologies. times higher than those of diesel soot.
