Abstract
A vehicle exhaust gas treatment apparatus includes a DPF with SCR coating. An inlet piping fluidly communicates with the DPF and is positioned generally parallel to the DPF. An outlet pipe fluidly communicates with the DPF and is positioned generally parallel to the DPF. The apparatus is arranged such that exhaust gas flows through the inlet pipe in a first direction from a first inlet pipe end to a second inlet pipe end. The exhaust gas flows through the DPF in a second direction, generally parallel to and opposite to the first direction. The gas flows through the outlet pipe generally in the first direction from a first outlet pipe end to a second outlet pipe end.
