Scania Umpikorinen (BB) – the Finnish registration class for closed-body trucks, engines from 8.9 to 15.6 litres, 162 to 456 kW, gross weight from 18 to 34 tonnes, five- to eight-cylinders
Umpikorinen (BB) is a vehicle class of the Finnish registration authority Traficom for trucks with a closed box body; this page gathers the Scania vehicles classified this way, whose model names in the register consist of the class designation and the respective engine displacement, some with the suffix A for a trailer coupling or automatic transmission and the number of valves per cylinder (2ov, 4ov).

The register lists here 18 versions with 162 to 456 kW from five- to eight-cylinders of 8,867 to 15,600 cm³, unladen weights from 9,500 to 18,620 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 34,000 kg, lengths from 8,832.5 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,525 to 2,600 mm.
Box bodies on Scania chassis carry general cargo, food and furniture over the long distances between Finland's economic centres; the wide span of displacement and weight shows the class ranges from the medium-duty distribution truck to the heavy articulated tractor with a box body.
On a used example of these Finnish box trucks, thermal insulation and the tightness of the body in Nordic winter temperatures, the condition of the tail lift and loading platform, rust and wear of the air suspension on chassis and axles, and the service history of the respective engine by displacement class matter.
