When did vans such as the Ford Transit and Toyota Hiace start using DPFs?

If I am looking for a diesel Transit or Toyota Hiace, which year should I look for to find the latest model without a DPF? Does the Hyundai i800 have a DPF, and out of the three vehicles mentioned which ones are chain cam diesels? Clearly a diesel van would be more reliable without either a DPF or a dual mass flywheel. Please let me know which of these vans have neither.

DPFs aren't obligatory on anything until EU5, but were usually needed to comply with EU4. I don't know which of these are chain cam. I don't have that sort of detail on vans.
