2. Updated engine forecast

Knibb Gormezano & Partners (KGP) has updated its forecast for global non-road mobile engine production, which includes in-depth analysis of the implications of changing engine emissions laws. The study, which covers diesel engine-powered construction, agricultural and materials handling equipment, was produced in collaboration with Off-Highway Research.

Among the key findings of the in-depth 90-page report, is the expected swing in compliance standards over the coming years. In 2013 more than 50 per cent of diesel engines fitted in new equipment met an emission standard of Tier 2 or less. By 2023 that proportion is expected to fall to just 4 per cent. Machines fitted with Tier 3 engines will be the largest part of the NRMM market by that point, with significant numbers at Tier 4 Interim or higher. This includes Stage V engines, which will start to be fitted to new machines in Europe from 2019.

These changes in emissions standards around the world have huge impacts for engine manufacturers and their suppliers, as well as OEMs and end-users.

As well as offering this overview, the Non-Road Mobile Engine and Aftertreatment Forecast provides a range of analyses of the market and associated forecasts. This includes global production by region, production by emissions compliance tier, production by emissions solution, production by segment (construction equipment, agricultural equipment and materials handling) and an analysis of engine sourcing in terms of captive (engine manufactured by the equipment producer) and non-captive suppliers.

Further sections provide information on major producers’ engine ranges as well as a summary of emissions legislation around the world. The report is a powerful tool to help companies plan their industrial strategies in light of these changes.
