1 Answers
An engine's maximum net power of 78kw refers to 78 kilowatts (kW) = 106.0504861 metric horsepower (ps). Here is the relevant information: 1. Horsepower is a unit of power; power is generally expressed in horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), where 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.3596216 metric horsepower (ps). 2. Unit for measuring power: Horsepower is not a force but a commonly used unit for measuring power in engineering, generally referring to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. It determines the maximum speed of a car. Engineering vehicles usually do not have very high horsepower, but they have high torque—meaning they are very powerful.
