Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2862703A1] The exhaust system for an automobile internal combustion engine (4) has a NOx trap (1) working with a catalyst (2) integrated in the exhaust pipe (3). The engine has a control system (7,8) to deliver a lean fuel mixture (9) or a rich fuel mixture (10), and define three fuel mixture strategies (11-13) to hold the trap within a thermal window of maximum efficiency with desulfation.
