More usable energy can be extracted out of diesel than out of petrol, hence more efficient engines.
Because of the way it burns fuel, a diesel engine provides far more torque to the driveshaft than does a gasoline engine. therefore heavy vehicles can pull load easily.

These are the MAIN 2 reason for their existence.
