Mechanical energy is not produced in a toy car. Instead, the toy car converts potential energy (stored energy) into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as it moves. The mechanical energy in the toy car comes from the energy used to make it move, not from being produced within the toy itself.

Chemical Energy to Mechanical Energy
You can power a toy car by using batteries or rechargeable battery packs. The batteries supply electrical energy to the electric motor in the toy car, which then converts the energy into motion to make the car move.
In a toy car, a battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy, which powers a motor. The motor then uses this electrical energy to produce mechanical motion that drives the toy car forward. This transformation of energy from chemical to motion occurs through the process of electromechanical conversion.

Mechanical Energy
A toy car is an example of mechanical energy because it consists of moving parts like wheels and axles that convert potential energy (stored energy due to its position) into kinetic energy (energy of motion) when it is pushed or rolled. The kinetic energy in the moving toy car is a form of mechanical energy, which is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
