The diesel engine is a compression-ignition engine. Unlike a gasoline engine, it does not require an electric spark to ignite the fuel. The high temperature needed to ignite the fuel is obtained purely by compression of air in the engine cylinders. Because of its high compression ratio, the diesel engine has a higher thermal efficiency than a gasoline engine.
