In this article we will try to outline the direction of the Diesel injection market at global, European and American level, focusing on some of the most visible and interesting trends for the future of the sector. In addition to an overview of the Diesel sector between Europe and the United States, you will find an analysis of various documented trends and some of the most urgent issues concerning the Diesel injection and aftermarket sector.
1. Global innovations in Diesel injection
As far as the global market is concerned, the most significant innovation in the Diesel sector comes from Japan: in fact, DENSO has developed i-ART technology (Intelligent–Accuracy Refinement Technology), an intelligent system of diesel injectors with integrated sensors that monitor and correct in real time the injection characteristics (injection accuracy down to 10 milliseconds), reducing emissions and noise and optimising efficiency and durability over time. The adoption of this technology as OE (Original Equipment) by Toyota (on the Toyota Hilux since 2012) and by Volvo as the first European OEM testifies to its validity at global level.

1.1 How DENSO i-ART technology works
The i-ART system automatically corrects the fuel injection specifications through a combined pressure and temperature sensor with a microprocessor located on the injector, which detects variations in real time and sends feedback to the ECU to adjust flow rate, fuel quantity and compensate for temperature differences, storing the data in the integrated IC to ensure consistent performance throughout the entire life cycle of the engine.
Compared to conventional Common Rail injectors with a single pressure sensor, i-ART delivers optimal fuel with an accuracy of 10 ms, optimising combustion to reduce noise, knocking and uncontrolled detonation.
To date, DENSO has integrated this technology into fourth-generation CRS piezo and solenoid injectors; failed pumps and injectors require replacement with quality spare parts, manufactured by reliable companies such as REDAT SpA.

2. The future of Diesel in Europe: from Euro 6 to zero emissions
Narrowing the focus to Europe, the European Diesel repair and aftermarket market is increasingly driven by the need to comply with strict regulations such as Euro 6, in force since 2014 for new vehicles, which imposes drastic reductions in NOx (by 84%) and PM (by 90%) – with particular attention on advanced diagnostic equipment, technical training and aftermarket services that include sustainable technologies and processes.
The Euro 6 standards are defined mainly by Regulation (EC) No. 692/2008 of the European Commission (amended by Regulation (EU) No. 136/2014), which sets emission limits for light-duty vehicles: NOx at 0.08 g/km and PM at 0.0045 g/km, with the introduction of mandatory OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) systems for real-time monitoring and in-service conformity. For heavy-duty vehicles, Regulation (EC) No. 595/2009 (Euro VI) imposes NOx ≤ 0.4 g/kWh and PM ≤ 0.01 g/kWh, emphasising after-treatment systems such as SCR and DPF to reduce real driving emissions.
Regulation (EU) 2018/1832 updates Euro 6d type-approval procedures, integrating RDE tests for NOx/PM in real-world conditions (compliance up to 120,000 km) and promoting technologies such as high-pressure (>2,500 bar) Common Rail direct injection, EGR and AdBlue for the sustainability of the aftermarket sector, pushing the industry towards eco-friendly repairs.
ACEA (the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association) and the European Commission link these standards to the future of Diesel through data and reports that highlight the need to innovate and renew the sector to align with the green transition and zero emissions by 2035.
3. The EU countries most advanced in the Diesel injector aftermarket
At national level, Germany, Italy and Turkey are the leading countries in Europe in the development of equipment and repair kits for high-precision Diesel injectors, driven by industrial demand and environmental regulations.

4. Diesel trends in the United States
Looking across the ocean, in the United States the Diesel injection sector is experiencing several innovations – both on the turbocharger front (with the use of advanced materials such as titanium and ceramic) and regarding injectors, with widespread adoption of piezoelectric technology that enables multiple and more precise injections, optimising consumption and reducing emissions.
Thanks to these piezoelectric injectors, an advanced Diesel injection system such as Bosch’s CRS3-27 with Common Rail system and piezo injectors ensures flexible fuel injection at pressures of up to 2,700 bar.
Growth is undoubtedly fuelled both by the overall modernisation of the vehicle fleet in circulation and by the massive adoption of hybrid vehicles, with brands such as Bosch and Delphi leading the way.
4.1 Maintenance and service: the new pillars of American Diesel
The Diesel injector maintenance sector in the USA is moving towards increasing technical complexity and specialisation. One data point supporting this trend is the expected growth of the injector cleaner segment (https://www.factmr.com/report/766/fuel-injector-cleaner-market). At global level, the injector cleaner market – valued at USD 1 billion in 2025 – is expected to reach USD 1.4 billion by 2035, with an absolute increase of USD 410 million and a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period, driven by demand for advanced maintenance to optimise performance, efficiency and emission reduction in Diesel injection systems.
In the United States, the undisputed leader of this trend with a CAGR of 3.7% between now and 2035, growth is fuelled by the expansion of automotive infrastructure, government initiatives supporting vehicle maintenance, and EPA regulations that promote environmental compliance through advanced injector cleaning solutions. At the same time, distribution channels, through distributors and retail suppliers, are expanding implementation in service projects and vehicle maintenance initiatives.
4.2 IoT for repairs and automated diagnostics
Another clearly visible trend in the US market is automation in diagnostics and repair. American companies are moving towards increasingly automated diagnostics, with the support of hybrid and IoT technologies in repair facilities. The expansion of this sector is due on the one hand to the renewal of fleets and on the other to new environmental standards.
One example (https://www.n-ix.com/iot-fleet-management/#:~:text=IoT%2Dpowered%20Electronic%20Logging%20Devices%20(ELDs)): IoT-based Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) automatically record driving hours, eliminating manual paperwork and reducing errors. This automation simplifies compliance with the regulations enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) or similar transport authorities regarding record-keeping of hours of service and emissions. It significantly streamlines procedures for fleet managers and drivers, who are relieved of reporting obligations.
5. What scenarios for the future of Diesel
If we want to follow a predictive model, we could assume that the market will grow steadily until 2030–2032, driven by:
· automation: repair equipment for injectors integrated into the IoT will account for 25% of the market, with an annual growth rate of 12% for tools compatible with hybrid engines;
· regulatory pressure: increasingly stringent CO2 targets (for example, the 37.5% reduction set by the EU by 2030) will accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies for injector repair;
· emerging markets: the growth of infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and South America will increase demand for repair solutions for Diesel and hybrid engines.
