In Italy, the forecast for new registrations of diesel passenger cars with an engine size of at least 2000 cc shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 68.25 thousand in 2024, the registrations are expected to decrease by approximately 2% year-on-year, reaching 63.45 thousand by 2028. This trend reflects a shift towards alternative fuel vehicles and stricter emissions regulations. In 2023, actual registrations stood at a significant rate, underscoring the declining interest in larger diesel engines.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles as more models become available.
Potential government incentives promoting sustainable transport options.
Technological advancements that may improve the efficiency and appeal of diesel alternatives.
