Abstract
A work vehicle includes a diesel engine, a heater to heat a gas to be supplied to a combustion chamber of the diesel engine, and a controller to execute an afterglow routine to cause the heater to operate. The controller is configured or programmed to execute the afterglow routine in response to the diesel engine being started, an elapse of a predetermined stop time since an end of a previous execution of the afterglow routine, and the work vehicle being in a warming-up state.
