Although diesel is declining in the passenger car segment, this is primarily due to petrol applications now being on even footing when considering fuel economy.
The initial surge from petrol to diesel was primarily driven by the historic superiority of diesel ICE engine when looking at fuel economy, however in time technological advances in turbochargers and downsizing engines for petrol application have made the fuel economy of both petrol and diesel engines similar.
This however does in no way mean that the diesel ICE has lost its place in the automotive market. Any consumer who prefers the torque experience provided by diesel, still has a myriad of choices within the passenger car space to choose from, as well as the super popular LCV segment that is colloquially know as bakkies in South Africa. Over and above the traditional automotive market, there is also still a place for the energy co-efficient afforded by diesel engines in the heavy-duty markets - utilised by industries such as logistics, off-highway (mining, construction, agriculture), marine and power generation.
