Competitive Landscape

The global diesel power engine market is highly fragmented, with the presence of several key companies. They are mainly focusing on joining hands with renowned automakers to provide their in-house heavy-duty diesel engines.

Several automotive manufacturers worldwide are striving to increase sales of their diesel-powered vehicles to gain a competitive edge. They are constantly updating their old car models to include diesel engines and new features.

For instance:

  • In January 2024, Tata Motors introduced its new Turbotronn 2.0 engine. The novel engine promises to offer high reliability and efficiency in the truck industry. It was manufactured for trucks between 19 and 42 tons. The engine is ideal for several trucking applications, including long-haul and inter-city transport.
  • In January 2024, Tata Motors announced that it is planning to launch the diesel variant of Tata Curvv along with petrol-powered and all-electric versions. The company is aiming to push the adoption of diesel powertrains as the demand for diesel-powered SUVs is declining in India.
  • In January 2024, Jaguar Land Rover introduced its new model of Range Rover Evoque in both diesel and petrol engine options. The updated model has several features, such as fog lights, air purifiers, wireless charging, and more. The vehicle also has a 48V mild-hybrid system that helps save energy amid braking.
