Abstract: The invention concerns a method for optimizing the operating mode and combustion mode of a diesel engine with regard to a minimal emission of pollutants involving common rail injection and including the use of an exhaust gas turboblower. According to this method, fuel is injected into each combustion chamber of the diesel engine at least by one main injection (HE) and by one afterinjection (BOOST) that is subsequent to the main injection, and an electric control unit (ECU) and a mapping stored therein serve to control the start and the amount of the afterinjection (BOOST) according to the end of the main injection (HE) and control operating parameters of the diesel engine.
