Car electrics use DC current. Based around the storage of electricity in a 12v battery. Modern vehicles charge the battery, and supply power when running, using an alternator. Although the alternator generates AC, for efficiency, it is converted to DC straight away, before being applied to the rest of the circuitry.

The engine itself emits nothing. The alternator does. The alternator emits AC, but it is converted to DC.

dc - the voltage is a constant 12 volts nominally in a normal car battery.
Are 6 Volt Car batteries AC or DC current?
DC definitely, all car batteries - all batteries.
Is car battery ac or DC volts?
Batteries by definition have to be DC. While u can convert DC to AC, with a device called an Inverter, none is built into a car battery. and chances are your car doesn't even have an Inverter anywhere in it. so car is DC. in addition modern cars use 12 volts, and for the record, AC and DC are not a "type of volt," they are types of current, (Direct Current, Alternating Current).
