KDV – collective page of vehicles outside the named ranges: the 441 Tjorven model with a two-cylinder 850 cm³ engine, kerb weight 810 kg, gross vehicle weight 1,360 kg
KDV covers the register's versions that are not assigned to a named range; both vehicles listed here carry the model name 441 Tjorven. The two-cylinder 850 cm³ engine and low kerb weight place the vehicle among the smallest light commercial vehicles, of a kind registered in several European countries under simplified rules for the smallest vehicle class.

The register lists 2 versions here with a two-cylinder engine of 850 cm³ displacement, a kerb weight of 810 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 1,360 kg and a width of 1,650 mm.
With a payload of around half a tonne and compact dimensions, the vehicle counts among the smallest commercial vehicles in the register, of the kind used for inner-city delivery, as a workshop or yard vehicle, or in small-scale agricultural work. The narrow 1,650 mm width also made it easier to pass through tight yards and lanes where larger commercial vehicles lacked the manoeuvring space.
When buying a used vehicle of this small two-cylinder type, check the condition of the engine and clutch, corrosion protection on the floor pan and load bed, the function of the brake system, and the availability of mechanical wear parts, which for such small production runs are often only found used or as reproductions. Before buying it is also worth checking the condition of the electrics and carburettor, and the sealing of the simple bodywork against moisture, since new replacement panels for this model are now hard to find.
