1. A control system for a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controller, the control system being arranged to:
determine a prediction of an end of a current driving cycle of the vehicle;
determine a likelihood of slippage from an emissions trap of the vehicle in a next driving cycle of the vehicle in dependence on the prediction of the end of the current driving cycle; and
control purging of the emissions trap prior to the prediction of the end of the current driving cycle in dependence on the likelihood of slippage.
 
12. A method for controlling purging of an emissions trap of a vehicle, comprising:
predicting an end of a current driving cycle of the vehicle;
determining a likelihood of slippage from the emissions trap of the vehicle in a next driving cycle of the vehicle in dependence on the prediction of the end of the current driving cycle; and
purging the emissions trap prior to the prediction of the end of the current driving cycle in dependence on the likelihood of slippage.
