Deutz, provider of mobility and energy solutions, generated significant growth in new orders and revenue in 2025, despite a persistently weak market environment in its classic engine business. New orders rose by 13.7% to €2,077.7 million and revenue by 12.7% to €2,043.8 million.
Deutz benefited from the broader positioning that it has established through the implementation of its portfolio strategy. Besides profitable acquisitions, savings made under the Future Fit cost-cutting program had a positive impact too.
“Even though the economic environment remained challenging, especially for the engine business, we reported one of the highest profits in our recent history. The Group’s focus on its strategic transformation is bearing fruit. Alongside our 6,000 employees, we are creating the next version of Deutz: stronger, fit for the future, and sustainable,” says CEO Dr. Sebastian Schulte. “Our goal is to double our revenue to €4 billion by 2030 and increase our adjusted EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) margin to 10%.”
As a result, Deutz has been managed in a new way since the beginning of 2026. Five business units that are organizationally independent of one another enable the company to take account of the different requirements of each of its areas of business.
Under its strategy, Deutz will take steps to boost its efficiency and continue to seek out targeted M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) transactions while reducing its structural costs at the same time.
Despite the diseconomies of scale arising from a year-on-year reduction in engine production at the Cologne site, adjusted EBIT (EBIT before exceptional items) improved by 46.4% to €112.3 million (2024: €76.7 million). This was attributable to the expansion of sales and service activities for Daimler Truck industrial engines, the growth of the energy business thanks to the strong performance of Blue Star Power Systems, the contributions to earnings from the acquisitions carried out in 2025, and cost savings.
