Most vehicles, such as cars, vans, and trucks, use internal combustion engines.

∙ 8y agoReciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
internal and external combustion engine
The internal combustion engine revolutionized the transportation industry by providing a reliable source of power for vehicles. It allowed for faster and more efficient transportation, leading to the development of automobiles, trucks, airplanes, and ships. This technology significantly expanded the reach of transportation networks, impacting global trade and travel.
maybe bec. theres two types of i.c.e. the gasoline and diesel ingine
The two types of mechanical engine are reciprocating and rotary. They can also be internal or external combustion. These can be further sub-divided.
A hemi engine refers to one of the most popular high performance engine types.
This is a heat engine, they come in various types such as internal combustion, external combustion, steam turbines, gas turbines, etc.
a internal combustion engine is used in every make of car from racing to heavy mechanical diggers, Two types of internal combustion example two stroke mostly used for lawnmowers some motorbike's stroke used for all mechanical cars/buses/tractors /no valves in t/stroke. mostly eight valves used in cars.
Steam EngineJet turbine EngineRotary EngineElectric EngineRocket EngineThe term 'engine' was originally coined to differentiate the "internal combustion" motor from all other previous types of motors. In the above mentioned answer, one should note that the jet turbine, the rocket, rotary and perhaps even the steam engines do have some sort of internal combustion. The proper term for the electric should be "Electric Motor"
Well, you have rocket engines and jet engines which aren't internal combustion engines, and various types of internal combustion (Otto cycle -- what you probably have in most cars, Diesel cycle like small diesel cars and trucks, Wankel cycle like in Mazda rotary engines like the RX series, and 2-stroke like in dirt bikes and lawnmowers). There are also Stirling engines which work on heat differential but don't make a lot of power and are usually quite tiny and for demonstration or cooling purposes. So yes, internal combustion engines are a type of engine.
Two types of propulsion in HEVs are series hybrid and parallel hybrid. In a series hybrid, the internal combustion engine is used to generate electricity to power an electric motor that drives the vehicle. In a parallel hybrid, both the internal combustion engine and electric motor are mechanically connected to the wheels to propel the vehicle.
Two types of propulsion in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are series hybrid and parallel hybrid. In a series hybrid, the internal combustion engine only generates electricity to charge the battery which then powers the electric motor. In a parallel hybrid, both the internal combustion engine and the electric motor can work together to drive the vehicle.
