mechanised

Operated by engines

Mechanised is the British spelling of mechanized.

It describes processes or operations that use machines rather than manual labour or animal power: mechanised farming, mechanised production.

In military contexts, mechanised units are equipped with armoured vehicles and tanks rather than travelling on foot: a mechanised infantry division.
