Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle system (80) configured for injecting an aqueous solution in an air intake line (12) upstream of a combustion chamber (14) of an internal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber (14) of the internal combustion engine, said vehicle system (80) comprising the following constituents: ⋅a tank (16) to store an aqueous solution; ⋅a pump (18); ⋅an air intake line (12) upstream of a combustion chamber (14) of an internal combustion engine; ⋅one or more injectors (20) configured for injecting aqueous solution in the air intake line (12), in the combustion chamber (14) or both; ⋅a feed line (22) configured in for feeding said injector (20) with aqueous solution pumped by the pump (18). In the vehicle system, at least a portion of at least one of the vehicle system constituents (16, 18, 12, 20, 22) or of a tank (16) component (24) is made of a polymer material. The polymer material—comprises an effective amount of at least one antimicrobial agent, or—has on its surface a surface coating containing at least one antimicrobial agent, the surface coating comprising between 0.001% by weight and 0.25% by weight of the at least one antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a tank for storing an aqueous solution; and a UV light decontamination module configured for decontaminating aqueous solution stored in the tank. The UV light decontamination module is arranged in a wall of the tank. The UV light decontamination module includes a light source compartment which is accessible from an external area outside of the tank; and a light transmission member configured to transmit UV light from the light source compartment to a liquid space in fluid communication with aqueous solution stored in the tank. The light source compartment includes a light source to emit UV light through the light transmission member to the liquid space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heater for a vehicle system for injecting anaqueous solution in an air intake line upstream of a combustion chamber of aninternal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, said heater comprising at least one flexible part which comprises at least one metallic resistive track embedded in an insulating material, said insulating material comprising at least one antimicrobial compound and/or being coated by at least one layer containing at least one antimicrobial compound. The invention relates also to a vehicle system for injecting an aqueous solution in an air intake line upstream of a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine comprising said heater.
