Stars Hydrogen Engine Systems Deutz’s hydrogen engine business is a Star: the TCG 7.8 H2 reached volume production by Q4 2024, giving Deutz a clear market lead in H2 combustion. Global demand for low-carbon heavy-duty power is growing ~18% CAGR to 2030 for industrial motive power, so Deutz faces high growth and must scale R&D—R&D spend rose to €120m in 2024 to defend first-mover status. Hydrogen engines serve heavy trucks, construction, and maritime uses where batteries lack energy density, keeping high margins but requiring continued capex and supply-chain investments. Dual-Fuel Hydrogen Solutions Dual-fuel diesel-hydrogen engines are a high-growth bridge tech for construction and agri; global market for hydrogen engines is forecast to grow ~28% CAGR to 2028, and Deutz holds an estimated 15–20% share in this niche fleet segment as of 2025. Fleet operators favor dual-fuel to cut CO2 and NOx without full refueling buildout; early pilots show up to 60% CO2 reduction versus diesel in mixed duty cycles. Deutz must keep CAPEX to scale: company guidance (FY 2025) targets ~€200–250m cumulative R&D and capacity spend over 2026–2028 to secure placement across excavators, tractors, and telehandlers. High-Performance Electric Drive Systems Through the E-Deutz strategy and the 2017 Torqeedo acquisition, Deutz holds a leading position in electric drive systems for industrial and marine markets, with 2024 estimated revenue from e-mobility products near 150 million EUR and market share ~12% in commercial electric drives. These high-performance units demand heavy R&D and capex—Deutz spent ~180 million EUR on R&D in 2024, much aimed at e-drives—pressuring free cash flow but accelerating product maturity. Analysts expect e-drive margins to improve as volume scales; with electric industrial vehicle penetration forecast to reach 35–40% by 2030, these units should shift from cash-burning stars to cash cows around 2028–2030. Service Expansion in North America Deutz Power Centers in the United States have recorded 38% unit growth year-over-year (2024 vs 2023) and captured an estimated 12% of the U.S. industrial engine aftermarket by offering localized assembly and tier-1 technical support, making this regional unit a Star in the BCG matrix. The U.S. infrastructure market is growing ~3.5% CAGR (2024–2028) and requires continued capex: Deutz is reinvesting to expand physical footprint and service capacity, so the unit needs ongoing investment to sustain growth toward stable profits. 38% YoY unit growth (2024) ~12% U.S. aftermarket share U.S. infrastructure CAGR ~3.5% (2024–2028) Requires ongoing capex to scale service footprint Green Segment Power Solutions Green Segment Power Solutions targets non-diesel tech—battery storage and alternative-fuel engines for stationary power—addressing data centers and hospitals that drove a global backup-power market CAGR ~9.2% to $18.3B in 2024 (Wood Mackenzie, 2025) as customers shift to low-emission options. Deutz invested ~€230M in R&D and JV deals by 2025 to scale modular battery systems and hydrogen-ready gensets, aiming >20% market share in Europe by 2027 versus slower legacy OEMs. High growth, strong margins, and bold capex place this segment as a Star in Deutz’s BCG matrix—requiring continued investment to sustain leadership as competitors pivot.

Customizable Excel Spreadsheet One-page Deutz BCG Matrix mapping units to quadrants for fast strategic clarity and board-ready presentation. Cash Cows Classic Diesel Engine Series The Classic Diesel Engine Series (2.2–16.0 L) remain market leaders in mature ag and construction segments, accounting for ~62% of DEUTZ AG’s 2024 engine unit sales and roughly €220m of free cash flow in FY 2024. These units require minimal new placement or marketing spend, delivering steady margins near 18% and funding the company’s €450m 2025–2027 transition budget into hydrogen and electric systems. Global Afterparts Business The Global Afterparts Business sells genuine Deutz spare parts with gross margins typically above 40% and supports a >1.5 million global installed base, delivering stable revenues as new diesel engine unit growth slows. In mature markets where new-unit growth is low, aftermarket maintenance provides a reliable, passive income stream that in 2024 generated roughly €450–500m in recurring sales for Deutz and contributed the bulk of free cash flow. Low capex needs keep operating cash conversion high; aftermarket profits fund dividends and helped Deutz reduce net debt by about €120m in 2024, making this segment a classic BCG cash cow. Standard Exchange Program The Deutz Xchange program supplies refurbished engines and components into a mature replacement market, delivering ~30–40% lower cost vs new units and extending machine life by 8–12 years per engine. Deutz holds a high market share—estimated 25%–30% in EU industrial engine aftermarket in 2024—driven by brand trust and long asset lifecycles. Refurbish process yields gross margins near 40% (2024 internal reporting), funding R&D and higher-risk units within Deutz’s portfolio. Agricultural Machinery Engines Deutz’s agricultural machinery engines are a cash cow: long-term, high-share contracts with tractor and harvester makers (including CNH Industrial, AGCO, and Claas) yield steady revenue — engines generated about €950m in OEM sales in 2024, with EBITDA margins near 18%. The market is mature with ~1–2% annual growth in Europe and North America, so volume gains are limited but predictably stable. Established supply chains and brand loyalty cut marketing spend, freeing cash flow to fund Deutz’s Green segment investments (2024 capex to R&D ~€120m). High share with major OEMs ~€950m OEM sales (2024) ~18% EBITDA margin Market growth ~1–2% pa Funds Green R&D (~€120m 2024) Stationary Power Generation Standard diesel generators for emergency power are a mature market where Deutz (DEUTZ AG) holds a strong, stable share, supplying about 12% of EU industrial backup units in 2024 and generating roughly €220m in segment EBITDA that year. These units are highly reliable and have hit peak production efficiency, with gross margins near 28% and free cash flow conversion above 45%, making them steady cash cows. Market growth is low—CAGR ~1% to 2028 for traditional diesel backup—but recurring replacement and service contracts from utilities, data centers, and manufacturing keep volume high and sales predictable.
