The ICCT team—John German and Aaron Isenstadt—concluded that diesels have and will retain two significant advantages over gasoline engines: significantly better fuel economy and cargo hauling and towing ability. Meeting the 2025 standard will require an average improvement in fuel economy of about 4.1% Background.

Manufacturers continue to optimize diesel emission controls, such as DOC, DPF and SCR, in order to promote uniform catalyst coating, improve NO x conversion efficiency, reduce back pressure on the engine, and reduce thermal mass. Better catalysts and urea dosing systems can achieve high NOx conversion during lower temperature operation.
