Wikipedia often leaves a lot to be desired in accuracy. If you look up direct injection diesel on Wiki you get one article that says engines
after 1980 were not direct injection, while the Wiki article you found says that engines
before 1980 were not direct injection. The fact is, from the very first engine Rudolph Diesel built, diesels have been direct injection. Direct injection of fuel into hot compressed air in the cylinder is the main principle on which diesel engines are based.
