Mercedes-Benz Umpikorinen (BB) – the collective page of box-bodied trucks from the Finnish vehicle register, from small box vehicles to heavy distribution trucks, four- to six-cylinder, about 1.95 to just under 12 litres
'Umpikorinen (BB)' is not a Mercedes range but a Finnish vehicle class: the word means 'with a closed body' or 'box body' and, in the Finnish vehicle register, denotes trucks with a closed box body regardless of the underlying chassis. This page accordingly gathers registered Mercedes-Benz trucks across many ranges and decades, from the light box vehicle on a van base to the heavy distribution truck; the model designations in the register usually give, instead of a type name, only the displacement in cubic centimetres and the number of axles or wheel stations. Mercedes-Benz has supplied the Finnish market for decades with truck chassis from the L, LP, NG, SK, Atego and Axor ranges, onto which Finnish body builders fit box bodies for parcel and distribution transport.

The register lists here 57 versions from four- to six-cylinders of about 1,950 to 11,946 cm³, unladen weights from 1,950 to 20,900 kg, gross weights from 3,510 to 35,000 kg, lengths from 4,835 to 11,950 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,600 mm.
Box bodies of this kind shape urban distribution transport and parcel logistics between freight forwarders' depots in Finland; Mercedes-Benz is there, alongside Volvo and Scania, one of the established chassis brands onto which local body builders fit the box bodies.
On used box vehicles of this type, the tightness and condition of the body (damp, tail lift, roller shutter) count, on the chassis rust on the frame and suspension, engine and gearbox condition relative to mileage, and the brake system; chassis parts run through the Mercedes-Benz commercial-vehicle network, body parts through the respective Finnish body builder.
