Diesel engines were invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1894 and first successfully ran in 1897, proving that fuel could ignite without a spark. Diesel engines operate using the diesel cycle and are internal combustion engines that come in two-stroke and four-stroke versions. They work through a four-stroke process and differ from petrol engines in using diesel fuel instead of petrol, providing benefits of higher fuel efficiency and engine lifespan but with drawbacks of slower acceleration and higher initial costs. Modern advances include improved technology and use of biodiesel.
