The invention relates to an exhaust gas post treatment system for an internal combustion engine, including an intake device for taking hydrocarbons into an exhaust gas pipe carrying the exhaust process gas from the internal combustion engine and a treatment device through which exhaust process gas flows downstream of the intake location and which increases the exhaust process gas temperature by means of oxidation of the hydrocarbons taken in. The invention specifies an exhaust gas post treatment system and a method for operating such an exhaust gas post treatment system which can be implemented cost-effectively. This is achieved in that the treatment device has catalytically coated components, in that the hydrocarbons are at least partly evaporated in the intake device and are modified chemically by means of cracking reactions and/or by means of partial oxidation, and in that the proportion of platinum, at least in a subregion of the catalytic coating of the components, is less than 50% of the overall mass of all the catalytically active substances in this sub region of the coating.
