How many horsepower is 96kW engine power?
1 Answers
96 kilowatts (kW) = 130.5236753 metric horsepower (ps); 96 kilowatts (kW) = 128.7381205 imperial horsepower (hp). Definition of engine power: 1kW of engine power is approximately equal to 1.36 horsepower. This standard is artificially set to a value very close to imperial horsepower, stipulating that 1 metric horsepower is the work done in 1 second to move 75 kilogram-force meters, equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second or 735 watts. The relationship between engine power and vehicle power: Engine power is not equal to vehicle power. In mechanical transmission, there are intermediate power losses. Additionally, safety considerations in design such as thickening and weighting the vehicle body can also lead to engine power losses. Therefore, vehicles with small-displacement engines are not necessarily slower or have poorer performance than those with high-power engines.
