What does "hk" mean?[edit]

This article does not cite sources. I was trying to clean up links to the article Power, and came across this line:

Power: 68 hk (DIN) at 4500 rpm

The abbreviation hk is not a meaningful abbreviation in the English language, as far as I know. However, since there are no sources, I am unable to inquire further about what it means. Gerry Ashton 15:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hk is a Swedish abbreviation of "hästkraft(er)" meaning "horsepower(s)" so it would be "68 hp". // Liftarn

Sources?[edit]

I see that this article lacks sources. The Norwegian pages about this vehicle has a source (a website), with quite extensive information. Is it acceptable to cite a source in another language than English? It would then be impossible for others than people speaking Swedish, Norwegian or Danish to verify it, of course...--Trondos 17:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear little "Valp"[edit]

The Volvo 3314 or civilian C202 was nicknamed "Valp" ("puppy") and mainly used in Scandinavia by civilians, industries and militaries.

As for the Land Rover, the Valp prototype was on the plain US Jeep chassis and drivetrain. In the late 40s, the French has even made by Duriez" a Fordward Control on Jeep chassis. I've got my Valp in 1959 engined with the Volvo 504 Amazon B16 4 cylender, going to Tunisia. Years later, the rig was reengined with B18 in the 60s.

Back to the US and Canada in 1968, Valp was upgraded with the brand new B20, the same than the one on my 122S. She was winterized with body insulation and super heater at front and rear!!! She is on retirement in a barn, as for myself, by now!
