  • Patent number: 10502107
    Abstract: An exhaust gas after-treatment unit for an internal combustion engine, particularly for a motor vehicle, includes a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter through which the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine can flow and at least one particle filter for retaining the soot particles from the exhaust gas. The particle filter, which is located downstream from the first SCR catalytic converter, is equipped with a heavy metal and precious metal free catalyzing coating which oxidizes the soot particles retained by the particle filter, where downstream from the particle filter there is a second SCR catalytic converter through which the exhaust gas can flow.

  • Publication number: 20190366947
    Abstract: A trim assembly for a trim of a body element of a vehicle includes a pivotably mounted first trim element that is displaceable into a first functional position and into a second functional position and an adjustment device for adjusting the first trim element from the first functional position into the second functional position and/or from the second functional position into the first functional position. The adjustment device is configured to secure the first trim element in a blocking position in at least one of the first functional position and the second functional position, against displacement out of the blocking position. A stop element is disposed such that, in the blocking position, the adjustment device rests via the stop element on a stop or rests on the stop element.
