Diesel Engines:
Diesel is injected into compressed hot air, causing it to ignite spontaneously without a spark.
This process relies on high compression, making diesel engines more efficient.
-
Diesel engines are favored for their torque and durability, especially in heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, buses, and machinery.
Efficiency and Performance
Diesel:
Diesel engines are about 20-30% more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines.
They provide more torque, making them suitable for towing and heavy loads.
However, diesel vehicles tend to have slower acceleration and higher initial costs.
Gasoline:
