Hi,

I am looking for clarification of a vehicle type abbreviation.

I know the following ao. :

LKW: Lastkraftwagen
PKW: Personenkraftwagen

but what is a "WKW"

I found this abbreviation on a set of vehicle ID Papers.

thanks !

I don't think You mean a Wasserkraftwerk = water driven electricity plant.

Walter Klein Wuppertal GmbH & Co. KG. A small plant for automobile parts, founded in 1940.

no, the abbreviation "WKW" is stamped in the field "Art des Fahrzeugs"

So it must be some type of vehicle

W(?) Kraft Wagen

Wirtschafts- or Werkstattlastkraftwagen?

Any other informations like manufacturer or meassurements or who had it used?
