GM is working hard on a new all-electric van to replace the Express. The new van is said to have a much longer range than the Express, which would be more than enough for most purposes. Moreover, it would be a significant step forward for GM, as the Express has been around for a long time and is starting to show its age.
GMs Electric Plans for the Express
General Motors plans to replace the aging Chevrolet Express with an electric van in 2026. The Chevrolet Express has stayed the same since 1996, and the automaker will build the replacement on the Ultium platform. GM has the BrightDrop electric delivery vans in its lineup, so it's not a huge stretch to imagine an electric Express.
Thirty years ago, the Express van was introduced as a replacement for the aging E-series vans. At the time, the Express was praised for its simplicity and available parts. Still, the van has since lost the favor of business owners because of the rise of fuel costs and electric competitors. However, with the rising popularity of electric vehicles, the Express may be due for a comeback. With a new replacement scheduled to be introduced, the Express may become the go-to choice for business owners looking for a reliable and affordable van.
According to recent reports, the Express will be phased out after the 2025 model year. It is part of General Motors' plan to phase out all of its gas-powered vans and replace them with electric vans.
It's too early to say what Chevrolet's replacement for the Express will be. Still, it has been transparent that the company will introduce a new line of electric vans. In addition, GM already has the BrightDrop Zevo, which makes it more clear that the company is moving towards electric vehicles.
The Express has been a mainstay in the Chevy lineup for the past two and a half decades. It has been one of the most popular vans on the market, and for a good reason. It is reliable, affordable, and has many features that make it an excellent choice for families or businesses.
The automaker will release more details about the van replacement in the future. Until then, it will continue to fly out of dealerships.
