Vehicle Diesel Engine Market By Speed (Low, Medium, High) , By Power Rating (Below 0.5 MW, 0.5 to 1.0 MW, 1.1 to 2.0 MW) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2032
The global vehicle diesel engine market was valued at $44.3 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $54.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2024 to 2032
A vehicle diesel engine operates by igniting fuel through compression in a cylindrical chamber, where high-pressure air compression initiates combustion. This transformation of chemical energy to mechanical energy produces both power and heat. A diesel engine is well-known for its significant torque output, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as propelling tractors, trains, and ships. Moreover, its high expansion ratio plays a key role in its extensive application in various industries, due to its exceptional thermal efficiency.
The growth of the global vehicle diesel engine market is driven due to several factors such as rapid urbanization & industrialization and development of diesel engines. In addition, developments in diesel engine technology, such as incorporating cleaner emissions systems and greater fuel efficiency, drive the global vehicle diesel engine market's growth. These technological advancements meet rise in need for more environmentally friendly transportation options while addressing environmental concerns. Furthermore, continuous R&D initiatives to improve the efficiency and dependability of diesel engines are anticipated to fuel market growth in the upcoming years.
However, high fuel, operation, and maintenance costs restrain the growth of the market. Nevertheless, agreement made regarding the development of zero-emission vehicles is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the development of the market. For instance, in July 2023, the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) and the top U.S. truck manufacturers introduced a Clean Truck Partnership, which was announced by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). According to a statement from CARB, the industry agreement supports the development of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for the commercial trucking sector and provides manufacturers to meet requirements for emissions while meeting the state's emission reduction and climate goals.
