The number of diesel passenger cars, including hybrids, in Germany is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 16.647 million in 2024, this number is expected to reach 17.603 million by 2028. This reflects gradual year-on-year growth rates of approximately 1.5% to 1.8%. From 2023 to 2024, the forecast suggests slight acceleration, indicating stronger growth compared to previous years. Cumulatively, a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests consistent upward momentum in the adoption of diesel vehicles.

Future trends to watch for:

Regulatory changes affecting diesel car policies and emissions standards.
Advancements in hybrid technology potentially boosting growth in hybrid diesel vehicles.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards environmentally friendly vehicles impacting diesel sales.
