42nd Engine Yearbook hits top gear
16 July 2021
It is perhaps appropriate to remember, in these extraordinary times, that for four-stroke engines that the next movement of a piston from the bottom dead center position is straight up. Because that might be a fair representation of what’s happened in the North American engine industry over this past year.
The COVID-19 pandemic slammed the North American engine industry in 2020, which is outlined by the chart from global engine analyst Power Systems Research (PSR).
Total engine sales plummeted by more than five million units in 2020 from the previous year. Some segments fared better than others, but no matter how you slice-and-dice the numbers overall it is a major ouch as the industry has been badly affected. However, looking at PSR’s forecast for 2021, it appears as if things have begun to rebound in a significant way.
