Abstract

The invention concerns a system for assisting regeneration of pollution management means (1) integrated in an exhaust line (3) of a diesel engine (4), wherein the engine (4) is associated with common ramp means (7) injecting fuel into the cylinders thereof, based on at least one post-injection and adapted to implement, in isocouple, through modification of the engine operation control parameters, at least two strategies called level 1 and level 2 and a second regeneration strategy including level 1 strategies and a sequence alternating level 2 and over-calibrated level 2 strategies, enabling different thermal levels to be achieved in the exhaust line. The invention is characterized in that it comprises means (8) for analyzing the vehicle running conditions and means (8) for comparing same to threshold values, to implement the first regeneration strategy for running conditions higher than the threshold values or the second regeneration strategy for running conditions lower than the threshold values.
