The forecasted production of diesel-electric locomotives in Germany remains stable at 31 items in 2024 and 2025, followed by a slight decrease to 30 in 2026, and to 29 in both 2027 and 2028. This represents a gradual downward trend in production over the forecast period. Year-on-year percentage variations emphasize a trend of minor reduction after 2025, with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a declining trajectory over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in alternative propulsion technologies could further impact demand and production levels.
- Policy changes aimed at reducing emissions may accelerate the transition away from diesel-electric locomotive production.
- Economic conditions affecting the rail industry and infrastructure investments could influence production volumes.
