  • Publication number: 20240149257
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wall-flow filter which is used in particular in exhaust gas systems of vehicles driven by gasoline engines. The filter has three-way activity and filters fine particles, which result from the combustion of gasoline, from the exhaust gas stream. The invention also relates to a method for producing a corresponding filter and to the preferred use thereof.
