      abstract = {The aim of this work, consisting of 9 individual,  self-contained booklets, is to describe commercial vehicle  technology in a way that is clear, concise and  illustrative. Compact and easy to understand, it provides  an overview of the technology that goes into modern  commercial vehicles. Starting from the customer's  fundamental requirements, the characteristics and systems  that define the design of the vehicles are presented  knowledgeably in a series of articles, each of which can be  read and studied on their own. This volume, The Diesel  Engine, provides an initial overview of the vast topic that  is the diesel engine. It offers basic information about the  mechanical functioning of the engine. The integration of  the engine in the vehicle and major systems such as the  cooling system, the fuel system and the exhaust gas  treatment system are explained so that readers in training  and in a practical setting may gain an understanding of the  diesel engine. Content Diesel fuel and air.- The mechanics  of the engine.- Integrating the engine in the vehicle.- The  fuel system and fuel injection.- The exhaust system.-  Thermodynamics.- Abbreviations and symbols.
