When will Cummins stop calling motors “engines”?
They won't because they are right. Motors are electric and hydraulic. Engines burn fuel. Ask any aircraft mechanic or engineer.
No it's not. :R Motor is all inclusive. Motorcycle, motorhome, outboard motor, motor carrier.........
I can call a SBC a motor or an engine. Both are correct. The thing that runs your fridge is a motor, period. The thing that runs your blender is a motor, period.
Same thing with a supercharger. I can point to a motor with a turbocharger on it and say, that engine is supercharged and it would be correct. Or I can say that engine is turbocharged and that would also be correct. I would be incorrect to point to an engine with a 6-71 on it and say that engine is turbocharged.
See how it works now?
BTW I was an aircraft mechanic. :B
