Dodge Umpikorinen (BB) – Finnish registration collective page of Dodge trucks with a closed box body: 8 versions, 68 to 261 kW, 3.2 to 6.7 litres displacement, 4 to 4.8 tonnes gross vehicle weight
From the 1960s to the early 1980s, Dodge built medium trucks for the European market at Kew in Britain, until Renault Véhicules Industriels took over Chrysler Europe's truck division in 1981 and gradually folded these ranges into the Renault line-up. This collective page gathers Dodge chassis listed in the Finnish Traficom register under the body type “Umpikorinen (BB)” – vehicles with a closed box body.

The register lists 8 versions with 68 to 261 kW from six- to eight-cylinder engines of 3,240 to 6,690 cm³. Unladen weights range from 2,400 to 3,600 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,992 to 4,780 kg, lengths from 4,900 to 6,310 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,148 mm.
Box bodies on Dodge chassis served in Finland as distribution and tradesman vehicles and as a base for workshop and refrigerated bodies; the spread from six- to eight-cylinder engines shows that both lighter distribution vehicles and more powerful versions are listed in the register. After the Dodge brand ended in Europe, many of these chassis continued in service under the Renault name.
When buying these Dodge box trucks, check rust on the frame and box body, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and the tightness of the cooling and fuel systems on these now-historic vehicles. Drivetrain parts are partly available through the Renault network, while box body parts are found only through specialists in historic commercial vehicles.
