How Does a Car Engine Work?
Unless you are driving an electric car, what you’ll find under your car’s hood is an internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines power your vehicle by using heat to convert gasoline into energy that is then used for mechanical work or torque. Torque is the force that causes your tires to rotate, and your car to drive. If you want to know more about your car engine, our auto technicians at Tires Plus can give you expert insight about your specific vehicle’s engine.
