Engine Torque

Torque (Nm) is a force that tends to rotate or turn things. The Engine Torque is the rotating force, created in the engine cylinders, that results in the force that moves the vehicle.

Torque in Nm  =  Engine output (kW) x 9549  

                                Engine speed (r/min)

The Engine Torque, not the maximum engine output, is the most important factor in terms of power, cruising speed and economy.
