To reduce emissions, diesel vehicles use filters that catch exhaust particles and other contaminants. Because the particles are so small, they can pass easily through a catalytic converter, which is designed to reduce a vehicle’s toxic emissions. Older models don’t even have the emission-control features that newer ones do.
