| | | cargo body | Explanation:
'Kori' can have two quite separate meanings: 1. basket, 2. body.
The second meaning is somewhat artificial and unnatural, because there is not a genuine Finnish word having a meaning of 'body' ('ruho' would have been a good candidate for this, but it has remained to referring only to a body of a (big) animal).
'Kori' in the meaning of 'body' is widely used when referring to the body of passenger car, but usually appears only in official and legal documents when referring to a cargo body (in everyday language it is 'lava' when open and 'koppi' when closed).
In legislative language 'kuormakori' can mean both 'open cargo platform' and '(closed) cargo body' but in everyday language it is used only in the meaning of '(closed) cargo body / container'.
Here 'vaihtokuomakori' means 'interchangeable cargo body / container'.
