Diesel has been here for a long time, but was really only "introduced" to most people during the 1970s gas shortages.
It was as successful as converting America to the metric system.

Yeah, GM put truck diesels into Olds 98s. Not the same as a Eurodiesel, 1.5-2 liter.

Largely thanks to Oldsmobile which attempted to adapt some existing gasoline engine blocks which all cracked. Diesel has been trying to recover from that ever since.
