Scientists are exploring a surprisingly simple way to clean up diesel engines: adding tiny droplets of water to the fuel. During combustion, the water rapidly vaporizes, triggering micro-explosions ...

Commonly used in trucks and heavy machinery, the diesel engine is one of the most important engines created. Developed in the late 1890s by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, the diesel engine came from ...

Cummins, the American corporation known for its diesel engines, has been around for since 1919. Over the past century, while Cummins has diversified into sectors like power generation and filtration, ...

The death knell has been ringing for diesel engines over the last decade, primarily because of their environmental impact. But some still swear by diesels for their abundant torque, efficiency, and ...

For decades, European automakers have championed diesel engines more than anyone else. After all, the technology was invented there – by German engineer Rudolf Diesel in 1897 – and the continent’s ...

You own a diesel-powered vehicle and are thinking of giving it a tuneup. But does your diesel even have spark plugs to change? The short answer is no, diesel engines do not have spark plugs. Instead, ...

There's that relief that follows when power goes out and the sound of a generator kicks on. In just a few seconds, your lights are back, your A/C and fridge are up and running, and you don't have to ...

Diesel engines typically have beefier, more robust cooling components to keep the motor cool in varying conditions. Modern diesels operate at a higher compression ratio, which makes their combustion ...

2027 heavy-duty engines are still a couple of years away. But the American Petroleum Institution is already hard at work on the next generation of oils that will lubricate them. New EPA 2027 emissions ...
