This collective page covers Volkswagen Transporters listed in the Finnish Traficom vehicle register with the suffix Umpi/avo, the Finnish words for closed (umpi) and open (avo), which denote the body type of the respective conversion there, that is a panel van compared with an open flatbed on the same chassis. The model names also state the displacement in cubic centimetres, here consistently around 2,450 to 2,460 cm³ for the five-cylinder diesel engines. The Transporter was built by Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge in Hanover.

The register lists 5 versions here with power outputs from 58 to 85 kW, displacements from 2,446 to 2,461 cm³, four to five cylinders, kerb weights from 1,750 to 2,170 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,515 to 3,200 kg, lengths from 5,030 to 5,870 mm and widths from 1,790 to 1,990 mm.

The distinction between closed and open bodies is a key feature of commercial vehicle registration in Finland, since it determines panel-van or flatbed use, and the Transporter covered both body forms with the same engines.

On used examples, corrosion on the van floor or load bed, the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger on the five-cylinder diesel engines, and on open bodies the condition of the tarpaulin and hoops all matter; spare parts are available equally through the Finnish and central European VW trade.
