Abstract: Heavy-duty diesel engines are essential power units for the Rail and Maritime transportation of people and goods. They are inevitable and consume large amounts of petroleum base fuel, producing substantial emissions. Since they are very bulky and costly to run and maintain, their performance, efficiency, and sustainability data are scarce, also. They are stationary constant-speed engines. Their efficiency values are relatively higher than conventional diesel engines. However, with newer pre and post-injections and fumigation techniques, those engines have significant room for improvement.
