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.
