To reduce emissions, diesel vehicles use filters that catch exhaust particles and other contaminants. A carbon-based particulate filter Diesel engines produce more polluting particulate matter than gas engines. Diesel particulate filters therefore are installed in the exhaust system, generally at the exit of the catalytic converter.
