Mercedes-Benz Avolavakuorma-auto (BA) – collective page of flatbed trucks from Finnish registration data: from van to heavy truck, 58 to 425 kW, 2.1 to 16.0 litres
Avolavakuorma-auto (BA) is not a Mercedes range but a body and vehicle class of the Finnish Traficom register: "avolava" means open load platform, "kuorma-auto" truck – together, flatbed truck. This page accordingly gathers all Mercedes-Benz vehicles carried in the Finnish data under this body class, regardless of which Mercedes range they technically belong to. That explains the enormous spread of the stock: it runs from light vans of just over two litres, such as flatbed versions of the Sprinter or Vito, to heavy trucks with V8 and V10 engines from the Actros class or its predecessors. The vehicles share only the open flatbed body, not range, drive or axle count.

The register lists here 41 versions with 58 to 425 kW from four- to ten-cylinders of 2,140 to 15,950 cm³, unladen weights from 2,090 to 31,180 kg, gross weights from 3,550 to 44,000 kg, lengths from 4,360 to 11,390 mm and widths from 2,090 to 2,600 mm.
Such collective pages by body class are a peculiarity of the Nordic vehicle registers, which record vehicles primarily by body shape rather than model name; for Mercedes-Benz the class shows how broadly the brand is represented in Finland with flatbed bodies, from light van to heavy-duty truck.
On used examples, depending on vehicle size, rust on frame and platform, the condition of clutch, gearbox and, on the heavy versions, axles and brake system all count; parts run through the Mercedes-Benz commercial-vehicle network and the dealerships in Finland.
