Description

Properties from [EngineSpecification](https://schema.org/EngineSpecification "EngineSpecification")

`[engineDisplacement](https://schema.org/engineDisplacement "engineDisplacement")`

[QuantitativeValue](https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue "QuantitativeValue")

The volume swept by all of the pistons inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine in a single movement.

Typical unit code(s): CMQ for cubic centimeter, LTR for liters, INQ for cubic inches \* Note 1: You can link to information about how the given value has been determined using the [valueReference](https://schema.org/valueReference) property. \* Note 2: You can use [minValue](https://schema.org/minValue) and [maxValue](https://schema.org/maxValue) to indicate ranges.

`[enginePower](https://schema.org/enginePower "enginePower")`

[QuantitativeValue](https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue "QuantitativeValue")

The power of the vehicle's engine. Typical unit code(s): KWT for kilowatt, BHP for brake horsepower, N12 for metric horsepower (PS, with 1 PS = 735,49875 W)

-   Note 1: There are many different ways of measuring an engine's power. For an overview, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Engine\_power\_test\_codes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Engine_power_test_codes).
-   Note 2: You can link to information about how the given value has been determined using the [valueReference](https://schema.org/valueReference) property.
-   Note 3: You can use [minValue](https://schema.org/minValue) and [maxValue](https://schema.org/maxValue) to indicate ranges.

`[engineType](https://schema.org/engineType "engineType")`

[QualitativeValue](https://schema.org/QualitativeValue "QualitativeValue")  or  
[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

The type of engine or engines powering the vehicle.

`[fuelType](https://schema.org/fuelType "fuelType")`

[QualitativeValue](https://schema.org/QualitativeValue "QualitativeValue")  or  
[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

The type of fuel suitable for the engine or engines of the vehicle. If the vehicle has only one engine, this property can be attached directly to the vehicle.

`[torque](https://schema.org/torque "torque")`

[QuantitativeValue](https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue "QuantitativeValue")

The torque (turning force) of the vehicle's engine.

Typical unit code(s): NU for newton metre (N m), F17 for pound-force per foot, or F48 for pound-force per inch

-   Note 1: You can link to information about how the given value has been determined (e.g. reference RPM) using the [valueReference](https://schema.org/valueReference) property.
-   Note 2: You can use [minValue](https://schema.org/minValue) and [maxValue](https://schema.org/maxValue) to indicate ranges.

Properties from [Thing](https://schema.org/Thing "Thing")

`[additionalType](https://schema.org/additionalType "additionalType")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org [style guide](https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html).

`[alternateName](https://schema.org/alternateName "alternateName")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")

An alias for the item.

`[description](https://schema.org/description "description")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[TextObject](https://schema.org/TextObject "TextObject")

A description of the item.

`[disambiguatingDescription](https://schema.org/disambiguatingDescription "disambiguatingDescription")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")

A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.

`[identifier](https://schema.org/identifier "identifier")`

[PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue "PropertyValue")  or  
[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [Thing](https://schema.org/Thing), such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](https://schema.org/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.

`[image](https://schema.org/image "image")`

[ImageObject](https://schema.org/ImageObject "ImageObject")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

An image of the item. This can be a [URL](https://schema.org/URL) or a fully described [ImageObject](https://schema.org/ImageObject).

`[mainEntityOfPage](https://schema.org/mainEntityOfPage "mainEntityOfPage")`

[CreativeWork](https://schema.org/CreativeWork "CreativeWork")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See [background notes](https://schema.org/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) for details.  
Inverse property: [mainEntity](https://schema.org/mainEntity "mainEntity")

`[name](https://schema.org/name "name")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")

`[sameAs](https://schema.org/sameAs "sameAs")`

[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.

`[subjectOf](https://schema.org/subjectOf "subjectOf")`

[CreativeWork](https://schema.org/CreativeWork "CreativeWork")  or
