DPFs are commonly found across most diesel engines today. Since initial development, DPF technology has come a long way to offer better functionality in engines.
With different equipment categories and engine variants, there are some basic differences across DPF varieties used in light, medium and heavy duty as well as off-highway, highway, agriculture, PowerGen and forestry equipment. However, despite these differences in vehicle type, the functionality of the DPFs remains the same.
