Why Do Big Trucks Use Diesel Instead of Gasoline?
Big trucks use diesel instead of gasoline because diesel engines deliver higher torque, better fuel efficiency, and longer engine life. According to DTF, about 75.6% of commercial trucks worldwide run on diesel as of December 2022. Diesel’s higher energy density allows engines to produce more torque at lower RPMs, making it ideal for hauling heavy…
