Not in place of the DPF, but IN ADDITION to the DPF. The DPF takes care of the particulates. The SCR takes care of the NOx.

I think SCR was inevitable for VW. There's only so much NOx that a NOx sponge can take care of. Future emission standards will require SCR in one form or another because of its effectiveness and simplicity.
