Does the Tayron 380 have a particulate filter?

The Tayron 380 is equipped with a particulate filter. The Tayron 380 does not have a separate particulate filter; it is called a four-way catalytic converter. A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Its function is to filter out fine particulate matter from the exhaust gases. When a certain accumulation is reached, it automatically burns off the captured particles, thus achieving a cyclic operation. The diesel particulate filter effectively reduces particulate emissions by first capturing the particulate matter in the exhaust and then oxidizing the captured particles to regenerate the filter. The so-called filter regeneration refers to the fact that during long-term operation of the DPF, the accumulation of particulate matter in the filter gradually increases, leading to higher back pressure in the engine and a decline in engine performance. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically remove the deposited particles to restore the DPF's filtering performance. A clogged particulate filter can reduce vehicle power. Some vehicle models, if they detect a clogged particulate filter, will automatically reduce the power output of the diesel engine. At the same time, the increased exhaust resistance can also weaken the vehicle's power characteristics.
