Its a standard unit of horsepower fella with the exception of being in metric.
 
most country\'s in europe use a standard for measuring hp, Here in britain we use the mechanical standard and our unit of measurement is BrakeHorsePower.
 
In Germany however they use the metric standard Din 70020 to calculate their power.
 
I think this correct although was a long time ago when i done my hnc
