Apparatus and method for carrying out a regeneration process of a particulate filter of a motor vehicle, a motor vehicle, and a computer program

Abstract

An apparatus and a method are provided for carrying out a regeneration process of a particulate filter of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes control circuitry configured to control decoupling, in the regeneration process, of an internal combustion engine from an output of a powertrain of the motor vehicle. Further, the control circuitry is configured to control providing, at least partly timely overlapping with the decoupling of the internal combustion engine, vehicle propulsion by at least one electric machine of the motor vehicle. The control circuitry is also configured to control running of the decoupled internal combustion engine.
