Company will end production of legendary GM Express and GMC Savana vans after decades of production

General Motors is discontinuing the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana after decades of production. It is reported by Autoweek, citing unnamed sources. According to a source specializing in the matter, both models will roll off the assembly line after the 2025 model year.

The recognizable square design of the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana dates back to the 1970s. An all-new model debuted in the 1990s, and the vans last major update came in 2003. So the need for a successor is objectively tired. These will be electric vans for the 2026 model year.

Looking at GM's range, the most likely basis for a future electric van will be Zevo's own BrightDrop range.

BrightDrop was launched last year as GM's commercial electric vehicle brand. The range includes Zevo 600 and 400.

FedEx recently received Zevo 600 units to add to its fleet. The company has pledged to be all-electric by 2040.

Future Chevy/GMC electric vans are expected to be built on a platform designed for electric vehicles and feature GM Ultium-branded batteries.

There are no firm numbers yet for proposed future electric vans, although BrightDrop's EVs could offer some clues. The Zevo 600 has a range of 250 miles and a payload capacity of over 600 cubic feet. We can expect the Chevy and GMC versions to be smaller compared to their BrightDrop counterparts.
