The invention provides a segmented pressure buildup method for an exhaust gas after-treatment system. The segmented pressure buildup method at least comprises the following steps of: S 0. judging whether an engine is started, and if the engine is started, executing the step S1; S1. carrying out first-stage pressure buildup, to be specific, driving a pump component to operate at the first pump speed, checking whether the outlet pressure of the pump component exceeds a threshold value, if yes, executing the step S3, and if not, executing the step S2; S2. carrying out second-stage pressure buildup, to be specific, driving the pump component to operate at the second pump speed and checking whether the outlet pressure of the pump component exceeds the threshold value, if yes, executing the stepS3, and if not, executing the step Sn; S3. pressure maintaining stage, to be specific, judging whether the pressure maintaining is successful, if yes, the pressure buildup is successful, and if not,executing the step Sn; and Sn. if the first pressure buildup fails, driving the pump component to reversely pump, then carrying out secondary pressure buildup and judging whether the secondary pressure buildup is successful, if yes, the pressure buildup is successful, and if not, the pressure buildup fails.
