Nitrogen oxide sensor

However, owing to much higher combustion temperatures due to high cylinder compression and turbo or supercharging, diesel engines produce much higher engine-out NOx emissions than do spark-ignition gasoline engines, but the nonexistent NOx after-treatment causes diesel engines to emit significantly more NOx at the tailpipe compared to a typical gasoline engine with a 3-way catalyst.
