Exhaust emission control system of hybrid car

Abstract

An exhaust emission control system of a hybrid car capable of relieving a load upon an engine fuel injection device by eliminating a use of sub-injection and recovering from S-poisoning as well as purifying an exhaust gas even by eliminating the use of sub-injection. The exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine, used for the hybrid car traveled by two types of power sources of a diesel engine and an electric motor, includes a combustion heater as separate body from the engine, a catalyst, provided in an exhaust passageway, for purifying an engine exhaust gas, a combustion gas passageway through which a combustion gas emitted from the combustion heater flows toward the catalyst, and a three-way valve for introducing the combustion gas to the catalyst via the combustion gas passageway or an EGR passageway when the diesel engine is in a stop state and when the electric motor is in a driving state.
