A wall-flow filter for an exhaust system of a combustion engine comprises: a plurality of channels in honeycomb arrangement, wherein at least some of the channels are plugged at an upstream end and at least some of the channels not plugged at the upstream end are plugged at a downstream end; an oxidation catalyst on a substantially gas impermeable zone at an upstream end of the channels plugged at the downstream end; and a gas permeable filter zone downstream of the oxidation catalyst for trapping soot, in that in an exhaust system, preferably a diesel exhaust system, the oxidation catalyst, which preferably includes a platinum group metal, is capable of generating sufficient NO 2 from NO to combust the trapped soot continuously at a temperature less than 400° C.

1. A wall-flow filter for an exhaust system of a combustion engine, which filter comprises: a honeycomb arrangement defining a plurality of first channels plugged at an upstream end and a plurality of second channels not plugged at the upstream end but plugged at a downstream end; an oxidation catalyst on a substantially gas impermeable zone at an upstream end of the second channels; and a catalyst-free gas permeable filter zone downstream of the oxidation catalyst for trapping soot, wherein the oxidation catalyst is capable of generating sufficient NO 2 from NO to combust the trapped soot continuously at a temperature less than 400° C. 2. A filter according to claim 1, wherein the arrangement of the first and second channels is such that laterally and vertically adjacent channels are plugged at opposite ends. 3. A filter according to claim 1, wherein the honeycomb arrangement further comprises a plurality of third channels which are unplugged to provide a flow-through by-pass to the first and second channels. 4. A filter according to any of claim 1, wherein the oxidation catalyst includes a platinum group metal. 5. A filter according to claim 4, wherein the platinum group metal comprises at least one of Pt and Pd. 6. A filter according to claim 1, further comprising a NOx absorber on a substantially gas impermeable zone on the first channels. 7. A filter according to claim 6, wherein the NOx absorber includes an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal or rareearth metal or mixtures of any two or more thereof. 8. A filter according to claim 6, wherein the NOx absorber includes an oxide of at least one of an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal. 9. A filter according to claim 6, further comprising a NOx reduction catalyst or a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst on a substantially gas impermeable zone on the first channels downstream of the NOx absorber. 10. A filter according to claim 9, wherein the SCR catalyst includes copper-based materials, Pt, a mixed oxide of vanadium and titanium or a zeolite or mixtures of two or more thereof. 11. A filter according to claim 9, wherein the NOx reduction catalyst comprises at least one platinum group metal. 12. A filter according to claim 11, wherein the platinum group metal is selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pt/Rh, Pd/Rh or Pt/Pd/Rh. 13. A filter according to claim 9, wherein the SCR catalyst comprises V 2 O 5 /WO 2 /TiO 2 . 14. A filter according to claim 6, wherein the alkali metal is potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium or caesium or a mixture of any two or more thereof, the alkaline earth metal is barium, calcium, strontium or magnesium or a mixture of any two or more thereof or the rare earth metal is cerium, lanthanum or yttrium or other lanthanide or a mixture of any two or more thereof. 15. A filter according to claim 1, further comprising a SOx absorber on a substantially gas impermeable zone on the second channels upstream of the oxidation catalyst. 16. A filter according to claim 15, wherein the SOx absorber includes an alkaline earth metal oxide or alkali metal oxide or mixtures of any two or more thereof. 17. A filter according to claim 16, wherein the alkali metal is potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium or caesium or a mixture of any two or more thereof, and the alkaline earth metal is barium, calcium, strontium or magnesium or a mixture of any two or more thereof. 18. A filter according to claim 1, further comprising a high-surface oxide support comprising alumina, titania or zirconia for supporting the catalyst. 19. A filter according to claim 1, wherein the support supporting the catalyst renders the zone including the catalyst substantially gas impermeable. 20. A filter according to claim 1, wherein the presence of the catalyst increases the local pressure drop of the wall-flow filter by a factor of at least 2. 21. A combustion engine including an exhaust system having a filter according to claim 1. 22. A diesel engine according to clai m 21. 23. A vehicle fitted with a combustion engine according to claim 21. 24. A filter according to claim 1, wherein the presence of the catalyst increases the local pressure drop of the wall-flow filter by a factor of at least 10.
