Maximum Torque = Maximum Efficiency?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me with any authority, if the maximum torque RPM on a Diesel will also yield it's maximum efficiency, without taking into consideration the vehicle speed wind resistance etc. I'm just talking about the engine.

In my case the Patrol 3.0 TD produces maximum torque at 2000 RPM and the auto box always gets the engine sitting around that figure except once you get up to highway speed when it has to go over 2000. To about 2150RPM at 100km/h give or take.

Thanks,

Aaron.
