Hi, you mean the "grunt" / horse power of a trator (prime mover) unit, like a kenworth mack, freightliner, Volvo iveco, ud....etc...
They all vary from as little as 200hp through to 600+ horse power, depending on the type of hauling it will be made for. In early days of diesel engines some trucks would have as little horsepower as 25 hp.
If an owner wants to haul light loads, he/she will specify lesser engine power than an owner that wants to haul earth moving equipment.
Many truck owners / operators are choosing higher horse-power engines for their trucks due to better traveling speed, lesser gear shifts for the driver and also better re-sale value of the truck, as it is capable of hauling big loads, as opposed to a smaller hp engine, thus, more people will want to but the truck.
I suggest you go to wikipedia and read "diesel engines" and "horse power"...then you will properly understand what "horses" are with regard to engine power and also how diesel engines work.
