AI overview
Metric horsepower (also called cv or PS) is a unit of power used to measure how much work an engine or motor can do per unit of time, similar to the more familiar imperial horsepower but using a slightly different standard. It matters because different countries and industries use different horsepower standards, so understanding metric horsepower helps people compare engine power across different systems and specifications.
