It's not just road going diesels. Agricultural and industrial are getting hammered by the EPA too. It's just plain wrong to have to put a DPF (diesel version of a cat) or diesel exhaust fluid in a tractor.  Mahindra now has a small tier 4 engine that doesn't use a DPF, but they spent millions designing it. I'm surprised one of the big hitters in diesel like Yanmar or Cummins didn't do it first.
