motorbetriebenes

Motorbetriebenes is a German term used as an attributive adjective to describe devices, systems, or components that are powered or operated by a motor. It denotes that a given object uses an engine or motor for its operation, as opposed to being manual or powered by other means. In everyday language and technical writing, you will commonly see phrases such as das motorbetriebene Fahrzeug, das motorbetriebene Werkzeug oder motorbetriebene Geräte.

Linguistically, motorbetrieben derives from Motor and betreiben (to operate). When used before a neuter noun in singular, the typical form is das motorbetriebene Fahrzeug; in plural one speaks of motorbetriebene Fahrzeuge. The concept is closely related to other power-clarifying terms such as elektrisch betrieben (electric-powered), manuell betrieben (manually operated), or hydrualisch angetrieben (hydraulically driven). The choice of term depends on the dominant energy source and the context.

In use, motorbetriebenes commonly appears in catalogs, product descriptions, and technical documentation to distinguish motor-powered equipment from manually operated or manually assisted devices. Examples include motorbetriebene Bohrmaschinen, motorbetriebene Rasenmäher, or motorbetriebene Fahrzeuge in transportation and logistics. While the core idea is simple—power from a motor—the term encompasses a wide range of actuation methods, including internal combustion engines and electric motors, and it is often contrasted with other drive concepts in engineering and consumer goods.
