K coefficients
It looks like you answered your own question--yes, I think this is correct. If you Google "K-coefficient automobile registration" you'll see a few relevant examples, and the link below is to a glossary of terms explaining it. I don't think you'll want to use the term "covered wagon" for an automobile, but it does make sense to have an estimated value for the heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a car.

Knudsen number
I'm not 100% sure about this answer. "K-kerroin" is mentioned in several product specification PDFs (which can be found easily by Googling), and these products are various air-ventilation systems components, like air duct silencers and similar apparatuses.
The term "K-factor" can be found in antenna design, but I don't think that is what you're looking for.
No explicit definition can found on these Finnish product specification pages, but the answer points strongly in the direction of fluid dynamics. If you study for example Wikipedia, you can find at least one probable candidate: Knudsen number. It is at least consistent with the product brochures I found.
Without more context from your text, my best guess is this.

Note from asker:
| This is all I've got: a car registration certificate with a list of technical characteristics, among which - this one.:( All I know about cars is that they run on four wheels...:). What I also found about "kerroin" is that it is a "coefficient". Can there be reference to any kind of K-coefficient in a car? |
