* UK - Problems with diesel particulate filters...

  ... May push companies towards petrol


Peterborough,EN,UK -Fleet News -9 Jan 2012: -- Driver ignorance could push petrol back up the fleet agenda if problems persist with diesel particulate filters (DPFs)...  Car manufacturers say the only issue with DPF technology is that if a vehicle’s exhaust doesn’t get hot enough to burn off the collected soot, the filter can become blocked and a dashboard warning light may come on...  This can be down to repeated shorter trips in an urban/stop-start environment...  The exhaust emissions standards for new cars have effectively required fitment of a DPF in the exhaust of diesel cars since 2009 when the Euro 5 standard came into force...  In fact, many cars registered before 2009 will have had one fitted in anticipation of the change in standards...
