Des moteurs rapides (750 à 1500 tr/mm) de puissance moyenne utilisés en particulier pour la traction ferroviaire et les groupes électrogènes (le nombre de cylindres est grand : on y trouve des moteurs à deux temps, mais de plus en plus des moteurs à quatre temps suralimentés). [...] D'autre part, le rendement est pratiquement indépendant de la puissance; ce sont là des avantages très appréciés du moteur Diesel. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ratrice%20entra%C3%AEn%C3%A9e%20par%20moteur%20diesel
