Chevrolet Umpikorinen (BB) – the collective page of Chevrolet commercial vehicles with a closed box body in the Finnish register class BB, V8 engines 4.8 to 6.6 litres, 118 to 260 kW, gross weights up to 4.36 tonnes
This page gathers Chevrolet vehicles listed in the Finnish vehicle register under the body class "Umpikorinen (BB)" – closed box body – a body designation issued by the transport authority Traficom for vans and box-shaped special bodies on American Chevrolet chassis such as the Express or the Silverado/Suburban range. Instead of a model name, each entry in the register carries only the displacement of the V8 engine in cubic centimetres; the span runs from Vortec petrol engines of around 4.8 litres to the 6.6-litre Duramax diesel.

The register lists 30 versions with 118 to 260 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 4,780 to 6,600 cm³. Unladen weights range from 2,180 to 3,360 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,546 to 4,355 kg, lengths from 5,050 to 6,200 mm and widths from 1,930 to 2,180 mm.
Box vans on an American Chevrolet base are a niche in Finland and Scandinavia alongside the European vans of Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, sought mainly by importers of special bodies such as ambulances, workshop vehicles and refrigerated units, who rely on the wide box body and the strong V8 engines.
When buying used, on the Duramax diesels what counts is the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, on the Vortec petrol engines oil consumption, plus corrosion on the frame and box body, the condition of the automatic transmission and rear axle, and the brakes, which see heavy use at the high gross weights. Spare parts for American Chevrolet mechanicals reach Europe through specialist importers.
