In one arrangement, a system may include an engine comprising separate first and second overall exhaust lines, where a blow-off line branches off of the second overall exhaust line, and where the close-coupled aftertreatment device is arranged in the blow-off line and configured to receive exhaust gases during at least a cold-start of the engine.
