Global Diesel Engines for Construction and Earthmoving Sector 2017-2021

Overview of the global diesel engines for construction and earthmoving sector

Technavio's market research analyst predicts the global diesel engines for construction and earthmoving sector to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 4% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the rapidly increasing demand for fuel-efficient construction equipment. The rise in concern over the smart use of equipment is gaining prominence in the market. Construction involves many exothermic operations due to which the temperature around the site remains high. This has taken a major toll on the industry as environmentalists are arguing over the rising construction activity and the consequent rising temperature. This has compelled the end-user to adopt fuel-efficient equipment as major costs involved in the operation of any construction equipment are for maintenance and fuel. Consequently, construction equipment manufacturers have realized the demand and have started working toward the technology that will enable higher productivity with less fuel consumption. This, in turn, will propel growth in the global diesel engines for construction and earthmoving sector during the forecast period.

One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the development of hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles are gaining traction as they provide improved productivity and are more efficient, resulting in increased cost savings. For instance, the hybrid hydraulic excavator has a swing framework that incorporates electric motors. It charges a capacitor by the power generated through swing deceleration. This power is then used to assist the hydraulic motor in swing acceleration. Another motor that is associated with hydraulic pumps adjusts to the measure of electric energy in the capacitor. It helps generate power and supports the engine. This way fuel utilization can be reduced. This increasing adoption of the hybrid vehicles is expected to support the growth of the global diesel engines for construction and earthmoving sector in the coming years.
