engine torque
Motor's twisting strength
Engine torque is the rotational force an engine produces, measured at the crankshaft.
While horsepower describes how fast work gets done, torque describes the twisting power available—the force that accelerates a vehicle from a stop or pulls a heavy load up a hill.
Diesel engines typically produce more torque at lower speeds than gasoline engines.
