yes, Diesel engine aka high compression engine are usually expected to produce more torque than a Petrol engine with equivalent engine capacity. The high comp ratio and a longer stroke make this possible.
But torque alone doesn't affect acceleration. Sufficient torque produced at high rpm results in an increase in power which helps the car accelerate better.
