“Advanced diesel engines of today” they are talking about are the tiny car engines that have been smoking the gas guzzlers in performance in cars that weigh next to nothing.
Diesel fuel has more energy per gallon than gasoline so a gas fueled engine of the same design cannot out perform its diesel powered counterpart. Give me a diesel engine with the same type of research and technology that went into this gas burner and you will have the winner.
Diesel is where the POWER is! No mention of ft-lbs of torque required to move a multi-ton load across the contenent.
Are these new engines going to require more mechanical parts as well as electronics to run them?
If so today’s Diesel engines would be much more dependable.Thats why the military depends on Diesal engines on its equipment.its easier to maintain.
I think it would be wise to wait 2-3 years to see if they have the bugs worked out.
