A reducing agent dosing device for delivering a reducing agent into the exhaust gas system 8 of the internal combustion engine 2 of a motor vehicle, comprising a reducing agent tank 3 connected to the exhaust gas system 8 via a supply line 5, 7 with a dosing valve 6 for delivering a specific quantity of reducing agent. The dosing valve 6 is disposed at a distance from the exhaust gas system 8 in the supply line 5, 7 and the output of the dosing valve 6 terminates in a mixing chamber 7. Compressed air, provided by the charge air of a charging group 10 of the internal combustion engine 2, flows though the mixing chamber in the direction toward the exhaust gas system 8 to mix the reducing agent output with an air stream.
