car
The German abbreviation "PKW" stands for "Personen-Kraftwagen," which translates to "passenger car" in English. It refers to motor vehicles primarily designed for the transportation of people, as opposed to goods.
Similar terms in German include "Auto" (car) and "Kraftfahrzeug" (motor vehicle).
The main difference is that "PKW" specifically denotes vehicles meant for carrying passengers, whereas "Auto" is a more colloquial term for any car and "Kraftfahrzeug" encompasses all motor vehicles, including trucks and motorcycles.
