Chenard & Walcker – other models: the collective page with the 8CV, CPV and Z5 from Gennevilliers, four-cylinder engines, kerb weight up to 1,180 kg, gross weight up to 2,200 kg
This page gathers models from the French maker Chenard & Walcker under the type designations 8CV, CPV and Z5, which the register could not assign to a named series of its own. The company was based in Gennevilliers near Paris from 1899 to 1946, after which it merged into Peugeot; the 8CV designation follows the French system of taxable horsepower, used by many French makers at the time to name their types.

The register lists 3 versions here from four-cylinder engines with kerb weights from 1,040 to 1,180 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,140 to 2,200 kg, and widths from 1,460 to 1,960 mm; the wide spread in gross weight and width shows the variety of bodies built on the brand's chassis.
As light commercial vehicles of the pre-war and immediate post-war period, the Chenard & Walcker models competed in France with comparable light vans from Citroën, Renault and Peugeot, before the brand became part of the Peugeot group's commercial-vehicle division after the takeover.
For a used example of these historic vehicles, what matters most is the condition and originality of the body and frame, corrosion on load-bearing parts, the condition of the engine and gearbox, and the availability of parts, which for Chenard & Walcker vehicles runs almost exclusively through specialist classic-vehicle parts dealers and clubs; on wooden-framed bodies, also check for moisture damage and rot.
