General Motors’ venerable commercial vans, the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, will likely go electric in 2026, forecasters say.
Production of the vans is expected to remain at GM’s plant in Wentzville, Mo., when they become electric vehicles. One source expects GM to discontinue the gasoline-powered Express and Savana around the same time.
Automotive News reported last year that the vans could become EVs in 2026. No major updates are expected through 2025.
The current vans, based on a design from the early 1970s and also available as passenger haulers, have been overshadowed by newer models such as the Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The Express and Savana were last overhauled for the 1996 model year and received a major update in 2003.
