1. An ammonia generating device to be used for the treatment of exhaust gases of internal combustion engines for motor vehicles, comprising:
- a tank having a body capable of releasing ammonia by desorption;
a first single connection member comprising an electrical connection to supply the ammonia generating device with electricity and a fluid connection to allow evacuation of the ammonia produced following the desorption reaction; and
wherein the first single connection member is capable of being releasably assembled by a locking-unlocking system with a second single connection member connected to an electrical power supply as well as to an exhaust line of an engine, said second single connection member comprising an electrical connection and a fluid connection, and wherein the assembly of the first and the second single connection members causes the engagement with one another jointly of the electrical connections belonging respectively to the first and second single connection members and of the fluid connections belonging respectively to the first and second single connection members.
