power unit
Watt or horsepower
A power unit is a device or assembly that generates or supplies energy to drive machinery or equipment.
In automotive contexts, it typically refers to the engine and its associated components as a complete assembly.
The term also appears in racing, where regulations may specify the type of power unit permitted.
More generally, any standardized measure of power output—such as horsepower or watts—can be called a power unit.
