Why is diesel power so widely used?
No other form of energy comes close to the power, versatility, cost-effectiveness and range of clean diesel applications. As a result, diesel is the predominate source of power used in trucking, railroads, shipping, agriculture, public transportation, mining, and homeland security and defense. The diesel industry is working closely with regulators to address the environmental progress and potential of diesel technology. Already, diesel systems today are significantly cleaner than the old diesels of past generations.
