Honda is currently developing a small capacity diesel engine. Instead of just iCTDi tech, it will now also use Honda's latest advancement, called iDTEC. It utilizes a new NOx catalytic convertor, that claims to reduce NOx emissions by a significant amount. It uses a system that converts NOx into nitrogen by the reductive reaction of ammonia in the cat.

Ammonia is a good reactive agent and helps in breaking down the harmful NOx fumes into more harmless nitrogen. Since ammonia is now stored in the system, Honda have managed to create a lightweight yet effective system for diesel engines. The three-way catalytic convertor not only helps reduce NOx emissions by 10 per cent, it also efficiently reduces NOx in a lean-burn atmosphere, enabling diesel engines to rival gasoline engines in cleanliness.
