Fiscal, insurance and market values: differences and uses
Three valuation purposes and a fictional example: the tax tool does not calculate insurance compensation or the real sale price.

Look up the CVF recorded for a car or motorhome by selecting its model in the catalog.
MM/DD/YYYY
Purpose
Look up the fiscal horsepower recorded for a vehicle model.
How it works
Select a model from the catalog. The tool displays that model’s recorded CVF value; it does not calculate a new value from cylinder dimensions or mechanical power.
Usage example
After selecting the matching model, read its CVF field and compare it with the vehicle’s technical documentation. A different variant may have a different catalog entry.
What CVF means and why it differs from horsepower or kW
CVF stands for caballos fiscales, or fiscal horsepower. Mechanical horsepower and kW describe engine power. Two vehicles with similar engine power need not have the same fiscal horsepower. This tool retrieves the catalog value; it does not convert power units or perform a new technical calculation.
Checking the model and fiscal horsepower entry
Identify the variant using the vehicle’s technical documents and compare the fiscal horsepower entry recorded there. If a variant is unclear, ask the manufacturer or a professional who can check those documents.
- Check make, model, fuel and variant before using the displayed CVF.
- A missing entry means this lookup cannot supply the value; it does not mean zero fiscal horsepower.
- When preparing purchase costs, distinguish fiscal horsepower from fiscal value too: the valuation guide helps separate fiscal references from prices.
Frequently asked questions
Not with this tool. Converting between mechanical power units does not by itself produce fiscal horsepower. This tool looks up a recorded value for the selected model, which you should check against its documents.
Check that you selected the correct variant. If the field is still empty, consult the technical documents or ask for a check of the value. Do not infer CVF from price, the commercial model name or another model.
Result limitations
- Fiscal horsepower is different from mechanical horsepower and kW.
- A missing catalog value or an incorrect model match cannot establish the vehicle’s certified fiscal power.
