It did not but the majority of Euro 6 cars will use Adblue (which is a DEF). Currently, and for example only one engine in the V70 range meets the new Euro 6 regulations (it is the D4).
The D4 is a new engine and will replace all engines in the Volvo range - in the new XC90 for example.
The rest of the V70 range (D2, D3 & D5) are only Euro 5 compliant, all cars (as far as I understand it) will have to be Euro 6 compliant by September 2015 - new models introduced beforehand will have to meet the new rules.
Some manufacturers will manage to meet Euro 6 without using a DEF, and most cars by September 2017 will have a new generation of onboard diagnostics to monitor these new systems.

N.B pity about the two threads on the same subject!
