Horsepower, Wheel Power & Actual Power Explained By Boosted Budget Power transmission is a crucial part of how vehicles operate. Whether you're cruising in a sedan or racing in a sports car, it's important to understand how power flows from the engine to the wheels. This knowledge not only enhances your understanding of vehicle performance but also helps when comparing specs or planning modifications. In this post, we’ll explain the three most important types of power in automotive systems: Horsepower (HP) Brake Horsepower (BHP) Wheel Horsepower (WHP ) 1. Horsepower (HP) Horsepower refers to the theoretical power output of the engine without accounting for any losses. It is measured at the crankshaft. 👉🏻 What is Horsepower? The term was introduced by James Watt and equates to the power required to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. In modern metrics: 👉🏻 1 HP = 745.7 Watts Horsepower is often used as a marketing figure but doesn’t reflect the power that actually...

With the growing concern over environmental pollution and climate change, governments worldwide have implemented stringent norms to regulate vehicle emissions. India, being one of the most polluted countries globally, has taken significant steps to reduce vehicular emissions by enforcing emission norms like Bharat Stage (BS) standards. Among these, BS6 stands out as a landmark regulation in India’s environmental policy framework. What Are Emission Norms? Emission norms are regulatory standards set to control the amount of air pollutants emitted by internal combustion engines. These include pollutants such as: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Hydrocarbons (HC) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM) In India, emission norms for vehicles are governed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). The Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES) are modeled on the European emission norms (Euro standards). Evolution of Bharat St...

  Introduction : Have you ever noticed your car pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, or a crooked steering wheel? These are all signs that your wheel alignment might be off. Proper alignment ensures that your car handles correctly, tires wear evenly, and fuel efficiency is optimized. In this article, we’ll explore the three key alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster, and why they matter. What is Wheel Alignment? Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car manufacturer’s specifications. These adjustments improve vehicle handling, prevent uneven tire wear, and ensure your car travels straight without pulling to one side. 1. Camber Definition: Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to the vertical axis when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Positive Camber: The top of the wheel tilts outward. Negative Camber: The top of the wheel tilts inward. Purpose: A slight negative camber improves handling in turns by maximizing t...
