In other words, it is the sum of the tractive force and rolling effort on the road surface.
tyre and the road surface

Indicated power
Indicated Power is defined as the power developed by combustion of fuel inside the engine cylinder. It is always more than brake power. Therefore, the difference between IP and BP indicates the power loss in the mechanical components of engine due to friction.
I.C. Engine
The most commonly used power plant in automobiles is an internal combustion engine (ICE). An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of heat engine that converts the chemical energy stored in fuel into mechanical energy. It works by burning fuel inside a combustion chamber to create a high-pressure and high-temperature gas that expands and pushes a piston, which in turn drives a crankshaft.
