Heavy Duty Engines Market Size By Vehicle Class (Class 7, Class 8), By Horsepower (Below 400HP, 400HP - 500HP, 500HP - 600HP, Above 600HP), By End-user (Agriculture, Mining, Construction, Transportation & Logistics) & Forecast, 2021 - 2027

Industry Trends

Heavy Duty Engines Market size exceeded USD 45 billion in 2020 and is estimated to grow at over 5.9% CAGR from 2021 to 2027. Developments in heavy duty engines and the increasing demand from transportation companies will provide an opportunistic growth scenario.
 

New diesel heavy duty engine technologies have been developed for growing demand for lower fuel consumption and reduction carbon dioxide emissions. Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) technology is the most preferred technique for increasing the power density of reciprocating engines, curtailing engine exhaust emissions, and improving fuel economy. The application of variable compression ratio technology provides advantages such as the increase of power concentration and the reduction of CO2 emissions due to optimal combustion efficiency in the entire range of engine operating conditions.

There is an immense demand for heavy commercial vehicles to handle freight growth which has been brought about by a COVID-19 recovering economy as well as government stimulus. Truck demand is strong as customers look to add more trucks to their fleets, but supply chain and procurement constraints are making it difficult for manufacturers to meet this demand.
 

Increasing costs of raw materials, such as steel & composites, and the ongoing semiconductor & component shortages are making it difficult for OEMs to produce the requested trucks. For instance, Volvo Group announced that semiconductor shortage is affecting its global business of truck production, and it will have to halt production across its manufacturing facilities. In February 2021, the U.S. government signed an executive order which aims to address this supply chain issue in the manufacturing industry.
 

Increasing adoption of Class 8 vehicles will boost the market revenue

The Class 8 heavy duty engines market is likely to dominate with around USD 55 billion revenue by 2027. Class 8 vehicles are the most prevalent when it comes to demolition, construction, recycling, refuse, or other intense vocations. In North America, the sales of Class 8 trucks have increased year-over-year after the 2008 recession and there were nearly 4,000 thousand Class 8 trucks in operation globally.
 

The primary propulsion source for the modern heavy duty engines is design constraints, including efficiency, low emissions, and durability. Strict regulations for vehicle emission in Europe and the U.S., forced truck and heavy vehicle manufacturer to follow regularity standard by improving engine efficiency and reducing emission. Developing and innovation of new technologies for Class 8 engines are boosting advancement in engine efficiency.
 

Rising demand for below 400HP – 500HP vehicle segment will complement the market growth

In 2020, the 400HP – 500HP generated a demand for around 1,900 thousand units in heavy duty engines market. Engine horsepower is calculated using a dynamometer, which measures RPM and engine torque output. The higher the horsepower (HP) an engine produces, the potential of torque is higher and heavy commercial vehicles convert the horsepower into pulling or pushing extremely heavy weights.
 

The emerging technologies to achieve the increased efficiency include peak in-cylinder pressures and improvements to combustion from increased compression ratio. Also, a reduction in pumping losses through a low pressure drop Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) loops, low-pressure drop aftertreatment systems, improved turbocharging technologies, and reduced EGR are considered. The reduction in frictional parasitic losses is attributed to the development of engine material coatings that lower friction, advanced lubricants, variable speed oil pumps, and water pumps.
