I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.

It's still the better engine choice over gasoline when it comes to hauling power, which is why it's still so prolific in shipping and distribution. Diesel engines also tend to last longer than regular gas engines, and are generally more efficient.
