Diesel technology plays a key role in protecting public health and safety, thanks to its unique combination of power, performance, reliability, portability and ease of fueling and service
Diesel at Work
Diesel engines power the trucks, trains, marine workboats, inland towboats and barges -- the tools of global commerce on the water and on land, serving the nation’s ports
Diesel at Work
Mining extracts raw materials, rare metals, and sources of energy from the earth that power our economies and diesel technologies play a dominant role
Diesel at Work
During power outages, emergency backup electrical generators powered by diesel engines provide reliable, immediate, electric power to protect public health and safety and minimize economic losses
Diesel at Work
Public transit, school and intercity transit buses are substantially powered by diesel
Diesel at Work
Freight train engines rely almost exclusively on diesel and haul roughly one-third of the freight in the U.S. Commuters in cities across the country rely on America’s railroads every day.
Diesel at Work
Diesel engines power 75% of all commercial trucks, helping move almost 70% of the nation's freight tonnage. While diesel is expected to continue to dominate the trucking sector for decades to come, alternatives to diesel such as battery electric and hydrogen/fuel cells are emerging.
Diesel at Work
Diesel powers over 95% of all school buses thanks to its combination of fuel safety, energy efficiency, reliability, durability, established fueling and maintenance network, range and operational flexibility, secondary markets and low acquisition and operating costs. All diesel-powered school buses can also use low-carbon renewable biodiesel fuels.
