Abstract

An exhaust gas turbocharger with an integrated catalyst substrate block and a hybrid vehicle having such a turbocharger are described. The exhaust gas turbocharger has a turbine housing, a turbine wheel and upstream ahead of the turbine wheel a hollow body-shaped catalyst substrate block, which is integrated in the exhaust gas ring duct of the turbine housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger. As a result of the upstream disposal of the turbine wheel and the integration in the exhaust gas ring duct of the turbine housing, particularly good emission values of an associated internal combustion engine can be achieved with a compact construction mode.
