Poissaolomalleja

Poissaolomalleja is a Finnish term that refers to a type of outdoor recreational vehicle. The name translates to " utility vehicles for the outdoors" or "ladestones", but is more commonly referred to in English as an off-road utility vehicle (ORUV).

These vehicles are typically designed with versatility in mind, often featuring elements of a 4x4 vehicle, an off-road buggy, and a utility van. They are frequently used for tasks such as hunting, fishing, farm work, and rescue operations in remote areas.

The poissaolomalleja is usually an unibody design, combining the roll cage with the cargo bed and sometimes a removable topper. Since they fall in a grey area between an off-road vehicle and an ATV, their regulation can vary by country. Some governments view them as off-road motorcycles subject to motorcycle laws and taxes, while others regulate them as small, unlicensed off-highway vehicles.

The design and features of poissaolomalleja vary widely, ranging from small, basic models intended for consumers to larger, specialized vehicles built for industrial or commercial applications. Their varying size, weight, and traction can impact how they are classified under local laws.
