Engine
An engine is the part that move the vehicle. The engine contains many parts, and can use many types of fuels. The most common type of engine is the internal combustion engine. This type of engine relies on timed explosions of a gasoline and air mixture to turn a crankshaft. A hybrid engine uses internal combustion as well as a battery that takes over when the vehicle is idle and is charged through braking and other instances of driving. An electric engine relies entirely on electricity.
