Losing power while going uphill is typically due to the increased demand on your engine, which can happen for various reasons. This may include insufficient torque, a heavy load, or issues with the vehicle's transmission or fuel system. Additionally, factors such as steepness of the incline and your vehicle's overall condition can affect performance. Addressing maintenance issues or adjusting driving techniques may help mitigate this loss of power.

Why does diesel engine lose RPMs going uphill?

Any engine will lose RPM going up a hill, its called gravity and the engine has to overcome it. The heavier the vehicle the more RPM you lose. Thats also why transmissions have all the extra gears. Lower gear equals more pulling power and less speed, higher gear is less pulling power and more speed.

A bus going uphill must overcome the force of gravity pulling it back down, which requires more energy and makes it move more slowly. Going downhill, the bus benefits from gravity assisting its motion, allowing it to travel faster.
