Because it delivers more power and is more durable than its gasoline-burning
counterpart, the diesel engine is the workhorse powering the nation’s trucks and
buses. Diesel-powered engines are becoming more prevalent in light vehicles,
including pickups and cars. Diesel service technicians and mechanics repair and
maintain the diesel engines that power transportation equipment such as heavy
trucks, buses and locomotives. Other technicians may work on heavy vehicles
and mobile equipment such as bulldozers, cranes, road graders, farm tractors
and combines. Today the demand is high, especially because more automobiles, light
trucks and boats are going to diesel.
