Abstract: A device for reducing particles of an exhaust gas includes at least one carrier structure having a predefinable volume and a plurality of channels which can be traversed by a flow. The channels at least partially have measures for deflecting the exhaust gas within the channels. The at least one carrier structure at least partially has a first coating including a washcoat. A quantity of the washcoat in a range of from 10 to 60 grams is provided per liter of the volume, provided with the first coating, of the carrier structure. An exhaust gas purification system and a vehicle having the device or the system, are also provided.
