The engine (1) has different organs associated with it, and has a unit (17) for controlling its function, adapted for triggering a phase of regeneration of the particulate filter. The control unit has a unit (18) for estimating the amount of particles to be filtered, connected to a lambda probe proportionally (24) delivering information relative to the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas. There is a unit (19) for storing a correspondence table containing, as a function of the exhaust gas oxygen content and for each functioning point of the engine, an estimated quantity of particles emitted by the engine, and having members for adding in the quantities, also estimated during the functioning of the engine for determining the particulate load of the filter. |
