2021 Jeep Gladiator available with 3rd generation 3.0L EcoDiesel

Green Car Congress

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system design has been updated to a dual loop (low and high pressure) system. The added low-pressure circulation system draws gases after the diesel particulate filter, thus minimizing turbocharger energy losses, which increases fuel economy. NVH has been improved by offsetting the piston pin 0.3
