Mazda tried to meet emissions without the use of DEF, the same way VW claimed they did before getting caught. When they realized that wasn't possible, Mazda opted to not sell the engine in the US market instead of cheating. They have a redesigned diesel engine coming to the US marked in 2019 with DEF.

The emissions standards aren't the problem. The problem is the corpotations that choose to cheat.
