In the automotive world, CKD stands for Completely Knocked Down. It’s essentially the ultimate “some assembly required” kit for cars.
Instead of shipping a finished vehicle from a home factory to a foreign market, the manufacturer “knocks it down” into individual parts or sub-assemblies and ships them in crates to be put together at a local plant.
