Deutz, the manufacturer of diesel engines, is celebrating a strong growth in new orders and revenue in the first six months of 2025.

During this period, new orders increased by 30.7% to €1,034.1 million and revenue rose by 15.0% to €1,007.1 million, giving an EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) margin of 4.7%.

Deutz believes that it is reaping the rewards of its attempts to build its resilience with a broader base and notes that this increase in revenue comes despite economic uncertainties and geopolitical challenges.

The company claims that the integration of new lines of business and a rigorous implementation of its cost-cutting programme is enhancing its long-term competitiveness.

There have also been several acquisitions, including the genset manufacturer Blue Star Power Systems along with the integration of selected Daimler Truck engines from Rolls-Royce.

Further growth through acquisitions is planned for the future.

Another bright spot for Deutz was that the higher margin service business increased its income by 8.7% to €274.9 million in the first half of 2025.

Deutz is basing its predictions for 2025 as a whole on a continuing but modest recovery, and is anticipating the total revenue for the year as being between €2.1 billion and €2.3 billion.

Thanks to its broader positioning, the Deutz Group’s new orders surged by 30.7% compared with the first six months of 2024 to stand at €1,034.1 million. Orders on hand stood at €490.9 million as at June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: €365.9 million).

Emerging from the results presented by Deutz is that despite the increase in revenue, the number of engines sold actually decreased by 9.1% to 67,440 units.

This countervailing trend was attributed to higher average prices per unit, due to a shift in the product portfolio.

The company said the revenue contribution of HJS Emission Technology, which was acquired in June, also had a positive impact.
