In 2023, France recorded the highest number of diesel locomotives in Europe, followed closely by Poland and Romania. Over the past year, variations show significant declines in countries like Estonia, Finland, and Latvia, while Romania and Hungary experienced growth. Over the last five years, the average annual growth reveals diverse trends, with Poland, Latvia, and Estonia having notable decreases. Meanwhile, activities in Croatia and Greece continue their downward trend.
Future trends to watch include the anticipated continued decrease in diesel locomotive numbers, driven by the focus on more sustainable transportation modes. Policy shifts toward electrification and green transportation could further influence these figures.
