In 2023, the final consumption of Gas Oil and Diesel Oil in rail transport in Germany stood at 275.2 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline, with the consumption decreasing from 274.64 in 2024 to 272.45 by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a minor decline, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflecting a slight decrease over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Implementation of stricter environmental regulations that could further reduce diesel consumption.
- Technological advancements in alternative energy sources, such as electric and hydrogen-powered trains, which may accelerate the shift away from diesel fuel.
- Economic factors affecting rail transport demand, which may influence fuel consumption patterns.
