YOGYAKARTA Not many people know what CBU and CKD are. These two terms are related to the production and assembly of vehicles which actually affect the selling price of cars. The following article will provide information regarding the terms CBU and CKD in the automotive world.
CBU and CKD are two terms that refer to the type of car based on the assembled. CBU itself stands for Completely Built Up and CKD from Completely Knock Down.
The car labeled CBU means that the vehicle is sent aka imported directly from a country whose production base is complete and complete. The CBU car itself is sent ready so that there will be no reassembly process.
Meanwhile, cars labeled CKD means that the vehicle is sent in separate parts or components, aka not yet assembled, so it is not ready to use. Usually, the car components are sent from the manufacturer factory to the country where the market is headed. After the components arrive, the assembler team representing the car company will carry out the assembly.
Although both were sent by vehicle manufacturers, there were several things that made the difference between CBU and CKD cars, namely as follows.
If viewed in terms of price, CBU cars are actually more expensive than CKD cars. This happened because cars labeled CBU were sent in full to destination countries such as Indonesia so that the taxes and customs imposed were different. The price difference also had an impact on the selling price of used cars.
Meanwhile, cars labeled CKD have a cheaper price. The car is sent in separate components so that the tax imposed is lower.
The car market coverage labeled CKD can turn out to be very wide. This happens because this type of car can be adjusted to market demand from destination countries. Naturally, CKD label cars are widely used by the public.
Meanwhile, cars labeled CBU have fewer markets because this label car only adjusts the standards set by the factory. This condition causes many people to find it difficult to use a CBU label car.
Because CKD cars are adjusted to conditions in the destination country, sometimes the appearance of the car is the same from one another. Meanwhile, CBU cars usually have a different appearance so that CBU car drivers have their own pride.
Even though it has the same brand, it turns out that the performance of CBU and CKD cars has differences. CKD cars are usually adjusted to the terrain in Indonesia. Meanwhile, CBU motorcycles adjust factory standards or international standards only.
For example, European manufacturer cars must be adjusted to the climate in Indonesia with tropical weather. In contrast to the climate in Europe which has cold climates.
Repair or maintenance of cars labeled CKD is easier to handle than cars labeled CBU. CKD cars also have more service services, with the availability of spare parts that are easy to find.
In contrast to CBU cars, not all workshops are able to carry out maintenance. This happened due to the limited search for components and so on.
