Abstract
A system (2) comprising (i) a vehicular compression ignition engine (1) comprising one or more engine cylinders and one or more electronically-controlled fuel injectors therefor; (ii) an exhaust line (3) for the engine comprising: a first emissions control device (5) comprising a first honeycomb substrate, which comprises a hydrocarbon adsorbent component; and a second emissions control device (7) comprising an electrically heatable element (7a) and a catalysed second honeycomb substrate (7b), which comprises a rhodium-free platinum group metal (PGM) comprising platinum, wherein the electrically heatable element (7a) is disposed upstream from the catalysed second honeycomb substrate (7b) and wherein both the electrically heatable element (7a) and the catalysed second honeycomb substrate (7b) are disposed downstream from the first honeycomb substrate; a third emissions control device (22), which is a third honeycomb substrate comprising an ammonia-selective catalytic reduction catalyst disposed downstream from the second emissions control device (7); and one or more temperature sensors located: upstream of the electrically heatable element and/or upstream of the first honeycomb subs…
