PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diesel engine reducing the particulate material(PM) in exhaust gas by creating the condition to accelerate a combustion reaction in a combustion chamber or the like by utilizing plasma, and shortening the afterburning period peculiar to the diesel engine. SOLUTION: This diesel engine 11 is provided with a combustion chamber 17 (or sub-combustion chamber) and a fuel injection nozzle 20 injecting fuel toward the combustion chamber 17 (or sub-combustion chamber), and the fuel from the fuel injection nozzle 20 is burned in the combustion chamber 17 (or sub-combustion chamber). The diesel engine 11 is provided with discharge electrodes 21 and 22 for generating electric discharges in the combustion chamber 17 (the sub-combustion chamber or the fuel passage of the fuel injection nozzle).
