Alot of it likely has to do with EGR duty cycles. The EGR usage on the newer engines is less than previous generations since the SCR catalyst is capable of removing more NOx. Less EGR, less soot. Less soot, cleaner engine and longer DPF life. People say DEF is bad but think about it. What's worse? Pumping sooty exhaust back into the cylinder to control the NOx or taking all the junk right off the engine and putting it all post-turbocharger? I'd rather have all the emission control stuff after the turbo, which leaves the engine free to work.

Bingo !!

Massively Reduced EGR cycles are a huge huge improvement in engine life and economy.

The new Emissions trucks are a mile ahead of the first gen ones
