engine's

What propels vehicles

Engine's is the possessive form of engine, indicating something belonging to or associated with an engine.

An engine is a machine that converts fuel or other energy into mechanical motion—the engine's power, the engine's efficiency.

The word extends to software systems: a search engine's algorithm, a game engine's graphics.

Figuratively, something driving progress or change: the engine's role in economic growth.
