The easiest way to get an engine to emit less emissions is to use less fuel. The other, more complicated method is what manufacturers are doing these days with Direct Injection, Turbos, etc. I think we're reaching the limits of cost effective efficiency in the combustion engine world, there is only so much we can push the boundaries of Physics/Chemistry without some level of electrification.

I believe the diesel Fiesta went below 100grams/km but that wasn't offered here locally (or it was for a short while and was discontinued).
