What does car engine speed mean?
1 Answers
Car engine speed refers to the rotational speed of the engine, specifically the number of revolutions per minute (rpm) of the engine crankshaft, which reflects the operating condition of the engine. The optimal state of engine speed: The engine operates most economically and achieves its best working condition between 2200-3500 rpm. It is advisable to maintain the engine speed within this range during normal driving. While driving, try to avoid operating the engine below 2000 rpm because excessively low speeds can lead to insufficient engine power, increased load on the engine at low speeds, potential engine damage, and a higher likelihood of carbon buildup. How engine speed affects vehicle speed: Engine speed primarily influences the output torque, which indirectly affects the vehicle speed. Although there isn't a direct one-to-one correspondence between engine speed and vehicle speed, generally speaking, the faster the engine speed, the faster the vehicle speed.
