Diesel motors are compression motors that don't require spark plugs. Since the motor compresses the air so much (so hot) with aid of a VNT turbo, all that the hot air needs is some fuel to ignite it. Diesel motors don't have such violent explosions during combustion like traditional petrol motors, but rather a softer flame-up. This is why diesel motors can't rev super high. The glow plugs that you hear about are only needed when the motor is cold.
