    Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine in the 1890s, filing a patent in 1894 and running a successful test in 1897, proving fuel could ignite without a spark. Diesel engines operate using the diesel cycle and are manufactured as two-stroke or four-stroke versions, with four-stroke models following the intake, compression, power, and exhaust steps. While diesel engines provide greater fuel efficiency and engine lifespan than petrol engines, they offer slower acceleration and higher initial costs. Modern advances include improved engine technology and the use of biodiesel fuel.
