Steyr Motors obtains C2 emissions certification in China – additional
order potential of at least EUR 100 million
• C2 emissions certification opens up new market opportunities in China
• World’s most important market for shipbuilding with a total market
potential of around EUR 5 billion p. a.
• Acceleration of international expansion with an order potential of at
least EUR 100 million by 2030
Steyr, Austria, 11 September 2025 – Steyr Motors AG ((1)ISIN
AT0000A3FW25), one of the world’s leading companies in the field of
customized engines for mission-critical defense and civil applications,
has reached another milestone in China. Only ten months after opening its
office in Beijing, the company has obtained a key emissions certification
for its maritime engines in China, essential for market penetration. This
paves the way for Steyr Motors to tap into new market opportunities in the
world’s most important maritime market.
The C2 certification sets emission standards for maritime engines,
particularly in inland waterway and near-shore applications. It is part of
China’s efforts to reduce environmental impact from emissions and to
improve air quality. With this, Steyr Motors not only meets crucial
regulatory requirements but also underscores its commitment to technical
excellence and environmental responsibility.
“This success is the result of our team’s tireless dedication to quality
and innovation,” explains Julian Cassutti, CEO of Steyr Motors AG. “We
look forward to bringing our advanced, reliable, and efficient propulsion
solutions into the Asian market together with our established Chinese
partner and contributing to the modernization of the shipping fleet.”
With the C2 certification in China, Steyr Motors is ideally positioned to
further expand its international presence and actively contribute to the
sustainable development of China’s maritime industry. In 2024, Chinese
shipyards secured approximately 74% of all global newbuilding orders and
currently account for around 63% of the worldwide order backlog for new
vessels. Particularly noteworthy is China’s leading role in the
construction of environmentally friendly ships: in 2024, 78.5% of global
orders for “green” ships went to Chinese shipyards.
The newly accessible target markets for Steyr Motors, as a result of the
certification range from commercial fleets and government customers to
private leisure applications. Based on current market estimates, the
additionally addressable market is estimated at 40,000 engines per year –
corresponding to an annual market potential of around EUR 5 billion.
“China is the world’s largest and most important shipbuilding market. We
see considerable market opportunities for our engine solutions and are
very confident that, with regard to incoming orders, we will soon be able
to announce further positive updates. Specifically, we see the opportunity
to generate additional orders with a volume of at least EUR 100 million by
2030 thanks to the C2 certification. The resulting expansion of the
installed engine base will also benefit the high-margin after-sales
business, thereby broadening the foundation for future success. With the
C2 certification, our office in China can now penetrate the market much
more effectively, and we are highly confident that we will also capture
our share of the annual market potential in the medium and long term.
Following the recent very encouraging developments, this represents a
significant milestone towards achieving our medium-term targets for 2027
of around EUR 140 million in revenue and approximately EUR 40 million in
EBIT – and beyond,” adds Julian Cassutti.
