1. diesel-electric

   A diesel–electric transmission, or diesel–electric powertrain is a transmission system for vehicles powered by diesel engines in road, rail, and marine transport. Diesel–electric transmission is based on petrol–electric transmission, a very similar transmission system used for petrol engines. Diesel–electric transmission is used on railways by diesel–electric locomotives and diesel–electric multiple units, as electric motors are able to supply full torque at 0 RPM. Diesel–electric systems are also used in marine transport, including submarines, and on some land vehicles.

1. diesel-electric

   Diesel-electric refers to a configuration or system that uses a diesel engine to generate electrical power, which is then used to power electric motors. This technology is often used in locomotives, submarines, and large marine vessels due to its efficiency and ease of control. The diesel engine generates electricity directly, bypassing a mechanical transmission, which provides smooth and steady power while minimizing wear and tear on the engine.
