Abstract
An exhaust-gas aftertreatment system () for a motor vehicle having a turbocharged internal combustion engine () comprises a large-volume lean NOx trap () which is connected by means of a short connecting pipe () to an outlet of the turbocharger (), wherein the lean NOx trap () has a first region () for the storage and/or reduction of NOx and oxidation of NO to form NO2 and/or reduction of hydrocarbon and/or carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas, and a downstream second region () for the storage and/or reduction of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas.
