Abstract: A system and an on-board-diagnosis method is provided for an exhaust aftertreatment system of an engine including a diesel particulate filter unit which encompasses a particulate filter in which soot can be oxidized by NO2 and constituents of the exhaust gas are deoxidized in a nitrogen-oxides reduction unit arranged downstream of the diesel particulate filter unit, wherein the exhaust gas flows from the diesel particulate filter unit to the nitrogen-oxides reduction unit. The on-board-diagnosis method includes estimating an NO2 content upstream of the nitrogen-oxides reduction unit, measuring at least one of an NOx or NO2 content upstream of the nitrogen-oxides reduction unit, performing a comparison between the estimated and the measured contents, and, based on the result of the comparison deciding on at least one conditioning step of the diesel particulate filter unit.

Abstract: A method of producing lower emissions in the operation of a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine which gives off exhaust gases to an exhaust system comprising a catalytic converter, injectors which are designed to inject hydrocarbon into at least one of the exhaust system and the engine combustion chamber, and a transmission that can be driven by the engine. The method includes a step in which a gear in the vehicle transmission is selected as a function at least of information that catalytic conversion is required and information on the temperature in the exhaust system, so that the gear selected regulates the temperature in the exhaust system. The catalytic converter is preferably of the LNC (Lean NO, Catalyst) type.
