Peugeot 508 Diesel Engine Query

Does the 1.6 e-HDi 112 stop and start engine with electronically controlled manual gearbox (ECG) have a diesel particulate filter? As I do 90% short trips I need to be certain it does not have a filter.

Of course it has a diesel particulate filter. It has to have one to meet EU5. But Peugeot filters are regenerated by Eolys fluid so are not supposed to clog as readily as self cleaning filters.
