What Does BHP Stand For?
BHP stands for Brake Horsepower
BHP, or Brake Horsepower, is a measurement of an engine's power output before any losses occur from the drivetrain, accessories, or other components. It represents the engine's ability to perform work and is often used in automotive and mechanical engineering to evaluate an engine's performance and efficiency. BHP is determined by measuring the engine's output at the crankshaft under specific conditions, making it a critical metric for understanding vehicle power dynamics.
