drevdriven

Drevdriven is a Swedish term that translates to "engine-driven" or "motor-driven." It is commonly used in contexts where a machine or device is powered by an internal combustion engine or an electric motor, as opposed to being powered manually, by an external force like wind or water, or by a power take-off from another engine.

The term is often encountered in descriptions of vehicles, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment. For example, a "drevdriven pump" would be a pump powered by a motor, distinguishing it from a hand pump. Similarly, "drevdriven såg" refers to a chainsaw, highlighting its motor-powered operation. In discussions about older technologies, it might be used to differentiate between modern, engine-powered versions and their earlier, manually operated predecessors. The concept emphasizes the source of mechanical power being an integrated engine or motor. It is a straightforward descriptor of operational mechanics within Swedish technical language.
