Twenty‐five years of diesel particulate filter (DPF) developments have shown that ceramic materials are well‐suited candidates to fulfill the harsh requirements of exhaust after treatment. The introduction of DPF in passenger cars in Europe in 2000 was a real breakthrough from both a scientific and a commercial point of view. Different systems and filter materials can be used as DPF; however, at the moment silicon carbide wall flow filters seem to be at advantage. There is a continual demand for cost‐effective and reliable materials and systems forced by increasing legal emission standards.
