Thread: PS (pferdestarke)

Hello Everybody!

Do you know if PS (pferdestarke) is used in Latin American Spanish for measurements? Here, we use HP.

Thanks!

No conozco esa forma de medición, al menos en México, que es mi país.

Hi Mariana,

I'm sure that it is not a very common way to express power. The most used unit is the Horse Power (HP).
We use too, the KW but is not as usual as the HP.

Cheers

Jack

Thanks Jack!
