Diesel fell to 36% of the European market in 2018

Diesel fell to 36% of the European market in 2018
- The dieselisation rate in the European passenger car market fell sharply again in 2018. It dropped from 45% in 2017 to 36% last year, while it was still at 50% in 2016 and the forecast for 2018 was 40%. It is therefore possible that this rate may fall to 30% in 2019.
- It should be recalled that the diesel rate reached its peak in 2011, just after the 2008-2009 financial crisis, with a rate of 56% of the European market, after having recorded a rate of 44% in 2003, 40% in 2002, 36% in 2001 and 32% in 2000.
- The current radical drop in demand (encouraged by the various European governments) continues to lead to a shift in the mix of engines manufactured for models sold in Europe, the most dieselised continent in the world. Manufacturers must gradually replace most of their diesel engine assembly lines with gasoline engine assembly lines.
- The transfer of diesel engines to hybrid or electric engines remains marginal (even if it is increasing every year), since they are only at 7.3% of the European market in 2018, of which 2% are electric.
- The transfer was/is therefore mainly made to petrol engines, which accounted for 56.7% of the European market in 2018 (compared with 50.3% in 2017). The most dieselized vehicles remain high-end sedans and large SUVs.
