Abstract

An exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a particulate filter where particles are filterable out from the exhaust gas by the particulate filter. A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter through which the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine is flowable for denitrifying the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine is disposed downstream of the particulate filter. The exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine is heatable by a combustor at a point disposed upstream of the SCR catalytic converter and downstream of the particulate filter where the combustor provides an exhaust gas of the combustor. Particles are filterable out from the exhaust gas of the combustor by a filter element.
