New technology can be used to measure soot particles in the exhaust of diesel engines, reducing emissions from diesel-powered vehicles and improving their energy efficiency. After three years of development, Norwegian scientists can now measure the soot content of a vehicle's exhaust while it is actually on the road. The new sensor measures soot particles in the exhaust gas after it has passed the particle filter, rather than before.
