Emissions Analytics has revealed that the latest Euro 6d-Temp diesel models emit, on average, 71% less particulates that petrol equivalents.
New diesels also emit 18% less CO2 in real-world testing, according to early testing from Emissions Analytics.
The organisation, which complies the EQUA Index for emissions conformity, uses a Portable Emissions Measuring System (PEMS) that tests the actual tailpipe emissions on the road.
When looking at Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) specifically, Emissions Analytics found average emissions were 48mg/km, meaning the cleanest diesels are getting close to the average NOx emissions from new petrol vehicles, which is 36mg/km.
Even before RDE, Emissions Analytics found that at least 30 diesel models achieved real-world emissions of 80mg/km or less.
The lowest NOx emission recorded so far this year is the 2017 model year Mercedes CLS, with selective catalytic reduction after-treatment and type-approved for 6d-temp, which recorded 15mg of NOx per km.
