A thermal management system for an aftertreatment system includes an air pump and a compressed air rail. The compressed air rail is fluidly connected with the air pump. The thermal management system further includes a first valve located between the compressed air rail and an exhaust outlet pathway. The first valve is configured to selective supply air to the aftertreatment system of the engine. The thermal management system further includes a heater located between the compressed air rail and the first valve. The heater is configured to heat the air before supplying air to the aftertreatment system of the engine.
