The advent of low-sulfur diesel *may* bring with it better/cleaner diesel engines, but I can't seem 
to find anything on light-duty trucks and cars, merely HD (>8500GVWR) diesels and the new 
requirements set to go in effect in '07.

One site: http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/us/hd.html (Scroogle on "2007 Diesel Emissions" for a 
whole slew of sites)

There are current (heavy truck) emissions standards in several tables on this site.

Here's a file that explains the newer diesel emissions-equipment "processes" and inner workings:

As my company lives-and-dies by Heavy Trucks, this has been of great interest even to those of us 
within Cobb-Vantress not directly affected by the laws.

Seems it's going to be a bumpy ride for the U.S. transportation industry for the next two or three 
years, as many manufacturers are notorious about "missed-deadlines".
