Abstract

An exhaust treatment system comprising: a first dosage device, arranged to supply a first additive into said exhaust stream; a first reduction catalyst device, downstream of said first dosage device arranged for reduction of nitrogen oxides in said exhaust stream through the use of said first additive; a particulate filter, at least partly comprising a catalytically oxidizing coating, which is downstream of said first reduction catalyst device to catch soot particles, and to oxidize one or several of nitrogen oxide and incompletely oxidized carbon compounds in said exhaust stream; a second dosage device, downstream of said particulate filter to supply a second additive into said exhaust stream; and a second reduction catalyst device, downstream of said second dosage device for a reduction of nitrogen oxides in said exhaust stream, with the use of at least one of said first and said second additive.
