What does BHP mean?
BHP stands for "brake horsepower". Brake horsepower is a measurement that represents the amount of true power produced by the engine itself before hydraulic components reduce the power output. These components consist of gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and more.

Difference between BHP and HP?
Brake horsepower (BHP) gives you the raw power output of the engine itself, while horsepower (HP) typically refers to the actual power available to move the vehicle, taking into account the losses through the vehicle's mechanical components.
How to convert BHP to HP?
To convert power from brake horsepower (BHP) to horsepower (HP), multiply the power value in BHP by 0.9863. For instance, if an engine has a power output of 75 BHP, the equivalent in horsepower would be approximately 73.97 HP.
How many BHP in 1 HP?
There is approximately 1.01387 BHP in 1 HP. This means that 1 horsepower is equivalent to 1.01387 brake horsepower.
BHP to HP Formula
The formula to convert BHP to HP is:
HP = BHP x 0.9863
For example, if an engine has a power output of 100 BHP, the equivalent power in horsepower would be:
HP = 100 x 0.9863 = 98.63
