Default CKD

Oliver,

Great drawings, again. Keep up the good work!

One remark: CKD does not stand for »cased knocked-down«, but for Completely Knocked Down. CKD should not be confused with trucks being encased, after first being 'knocked down' as much as considered practical.
CKD was restricted to destinations where the manufacturers had proper assembly plants. CKD entailed the supply of parts which could not - or not economically - be produced locally, supplemented by parts which could.
Besides packing methods for trucks that had to be reassembled on arrival, the CKD-pack method was also used but this entailed parts and components which had not been assembled before and then dismantled for shipment. They comprised the necessary numbers of subassemblies and parts for a given quantity of chassis which would be assembled in much the same way as it was done in the Canadian factory.

Regards,
Hanno
