engine compartments
Under the hood
Engine compartments are the enclosed sections of vehicles—typically cars, trucks, boats, and aircraft—that house the engine and related mechanical components.
The compartment provides protection for the engine while allowing access for maintenance and repairs.
In automobiles, opening the hood reveals the engine compartment; in boats, it may be accessed through a hatch.
