Deutz AG from Cologne is facing a challenging market environment ahead of publishing its Q1 2025 figures. The construction machinery sector in particular shows persistent weakness: longer idle times at rental companies and restrained new investments are burdening the order situation for conventional diesel units. The transformation toward electrified drives and hydrogen solutions ties up development capital, while classic off-highway engines – historically the core business – are under price pressure. Analysts expect clarification especially regarding the order situation in the second half of the year and the profitability of the TCG gas engine division, which has recently provided growth impulses.
