The efficiency of diesel locomotives is nearly_______________?
Correct answer: A. 20 to 25 percent
- A. 20 to 25 percent
- B. 30 to 40 percent
- C. 45 to 55 percent
- D. 60 to 70 percent
Explanation
The overall efficiency of a diesel locomotive, including the diesel engine and transmission losses, is typically around 20 to 25 percent. The diesel engine alone may have a higher efficiency, which makes the larger ranges misleading.
