Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The product of petroleum which is used to drive heavy vehicles is diesel. Heavy vehicles require handling heavy weights, which necessitates a high driving force. Diesel engines are capable of producing a significant amount of driving force. Petrol engines produce more speed but less driving force (due to the lighter weight of the vehicles) than diesel engines. Diesel is used to drive heavy vehicles because it is more efficient and cost-effective.
It has a higher energy density, which means that more energy can be extracted from diesel than from the same volume of gasoline (petrol). As a result, diesel engines in automobiles get better gas mileage, making them an obvious choice for heavy-duty transportation and equipment.
