Abstract: An energy recovery system includes an exhaust line which is capable of collecting exhaust gas from an exhaust manifold of the engine and which is equipped with a particulate filter, a secondary line which is thermally linked with, but distinct from, the exhaust line, and which carries a fluid. The particulate filter has a filtering part in which exhaust gases can flow and a heat exchanging part in which the fluid can flow, the filtering part and heat exchanging part being arranged to transfer heat by conduction from the exhaust gases to said fluid. The secondary line is connected to energy recovery means capable of recovering energy from the heat.
