The number of diesel passenger cars with an engine size of at most 1399 cc in Germany is experiencing a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year percentage variations are as follows: a 2.46% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 2.47% decrease from 2025 to 2026, a 2.49% drop from 2026 to 2027, and a 2.50% reduction from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 indicates a continuous downward trend in the number of these vehicles.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing adoption and incentivization of electric vehicles may further diminish the diesel car market.
Government regulations on emissions could accelerate the phase-out of smaller diesel engine vehicles.
Technological advancements in alternative fuel engines may impact future demand for diesel cars with small engines.
