A year later, they expanded their partnership, and today, the two detail the specifics. Ford will engineer and build a midsize pickup and a one-ton commercial van for the two while VW will develop the smaller city van for the two. The two will also partner on autonomous and electric vehicles. We knew early on that the partnership would focus on commercial vehicles, self-driving cars, and EVs, but today, the details paint a better picture of what to expect. As early as next year, we could see the two commercial vans arrive, too. The smaller city van will be based on the latest VW Caddy model, while the one-ton cargo van is likely a replacement for the Ford Transit. The press release detailing the agreement says the two will remain competitors. That means the next-gen Ford Ranger will compete directly against the next-gen VW Amarok, even though Ford will engineer and build both. Either way, the deal should help the companies find and exploit efficiencies, playing to the strengths of each while saving some cash, as well. Source: Ford. The companies expect the alliance to enhance ownership experiences for current and future customers by more rapidly innovating vehicle offerings, incorporating relevant new technologies, delivering better utility and offering more model choices. They anticipate continued growth in global industry demand for commercial vehicles and for high-performing electric vehicles to add valuable scale to their individual product portfolios. During the lifecycles of the products, the companies expect to produce up to a combined 8 million of the medium pickup truck and both commercial vans included in the commercial relationships. Herbert Diess. Volkswagen and Ford plan to explore additional ways to cooperate on electric vehicles. Over several years starting in , Ford could deliver , electric vehicles atop the MEB architecture, which is designed to combine space and performance with electric drive. The vehicle, which will be designed and engineered by Ford in Cologne-Merkenich, will add another compelling nameplate to its own all-electric Mustang Mach-E, which will be introduced in Last week, Volkswagen closed its previously announced investment in Argo AI, the Pittsburgh-based company in which Ford already had ownership and development interests.

Durant used the Chevrolet Motor Car Company to acquire a controlling stake in General Motors with a reverse merger occurring on May 2, , and propelled himself back to the GM presidency. After Durant's second ousting in , Alfred Sloan , with his maxim "a car for every purse and purpose", would pick the Chevrolet brand to become the volume leader in the General Motors family, selling mainstream vehicles to compete with Henry Ford 's Model T in and overtaking Ford as the best-selling car in the United States by Chevrolet-branded vehicles are sold in most automotive markets worldwide. In Oceania , Chevrolet is represented by Holden Special Vehicles , having returned to the region in after a year absence with the launching of the Camaro and Silverado pickup truck HSV was partially and formerly owned by GM subsidiary Holden , which GM is retiring in In , Chevrolet was relaunched in Europe , primarily selling vehicles built by GM Daewoo of South Korea with the tagline "Daewoo has grown up enough to become Chevrolet", a move rooted in General Motors ' attempt to build a global brand around Chevrolet. In North America, Chevrolet produces and sells a wide range of vehicles, from subcompact automobiles to medium-duty commercial trucks. Due to the prominence and name recognition of Chevrolet as one of General Motors ' global marques, 'Chevrolet', 'Chevy' or 'Chev' is used at times as a synonym for General Motors or its products, one example being the GM LS1 engine , commonly known by the name or a variant thereof of its progenitor, the Chevrolet small-block engine. Whiting, [6] Dr. Edwin R. Campbell son-in-law of Durant and in R. Durant was cast out from the management of General Motors in , a company which he had founded in He also incorporated the Mason and Little companies. One of the technical advancements Chevrolet benefited from was the implementation of an overhead valve engine from the very beginning, as the company was developed as a junior model to Buick , who had patented the overhead valve and cross flow cylinder design as being more efficient than the conventional use of the flathead engine. The first C prototype was ready months before Chevrolet was actually incorporated. However the first actual production wasn't until the model. So in essence there were no or production models, only the 1 pre-production model was made and fine tuned throughout the early part of Then in the fall of that year the new model was introduced at the New York auto show. It may have been designed from wallpaper Durant once saw in a French hotel room. Chevrolet eventually unified all vehicle models with the gold bowtie in , for both brand cohesion as well as to differentiate itself from Ford with its blue oval logo and Toyota who has often used red for its imaging , its two primary domestic rivals. Louis Chevrolet had differences with Durant over design and in sold Durant his share in the company. By , Chevrolet was profitable enough with successful sales of the cheaper Series to allow Durant to repurchase a controlling interest in General Motors. After the deal was completed in , Durant became president of General Motors, and Chevrolet was merged into GM as a separate division. In , Chevrolet's factories were located at Flint, Michigan ; branch assembly locations were sited in Tarrytown, N. Louis, Missouri , Oakland, California , Ft. Sales were poor and it was dropped in Beginning also in , GMC commercial grade trucks were rebranded as Chevrolet, and using the same chassis of Chevrolet passenger cars and building light-duty trucks. GMC commercial grade trucks were also rebranded as Chevrolet commercial grade trucks, sharing an almost identical appearance with GMC products. Chevrolet continued into the s, s, and s competing with Ford, and after the Chrysler Corporation formed Plymouth in , Plymouth, Ford, and Chevrolet were known as the "Low-priced three". In Chevrolet launched the Standard Six , which was advertised in the United States as the cheapest six-cylinder car on sale. Chevrolet had a great influence on the American automobile market during the s and s. In it produced the Corvette , a two-seater sports car with a fiberglass body. In one out of every ten cars sold in the United States was a Chevrolet. During the s and early s, the standard Chevrolet, particularly the deluxe Impala series, became one of America's best selling lines of automobiles in history. The basic Chevrolet small-block V8 design has remained in continuous production since its debut in , longer than any other mass-produced engine in the world, although current versions share few if any parts interchangeable with the original. Descendants of the basic small-block OHV V8 design platform in production today have been much modified with advances such as aluminium block and heads, electronic engine management, and sequential port fuel injection. Depending on the vehicle type, Chevrolet V8s are built in displacements from 4. The Chevrolet division largely recovered from the economic downturn of — through launching new vehicles and improving existing lines. GM began developing more fuel efficient cars and trucks to compete with foreign automakers. As of [update] Chevrolet had operations in over countries, and global sales in set a record with 4. Mexico has a mix of Chevrolet models from different GM brands and platforms branded as Chevrolet. Mexico also has some cars of its own, such as the Chevy C2 , which is a reworked older-generation Corsa B. The European Epica was sold as a business-only vehicle. GM also manufactures Chevrolet vehicles such as the Suburban and Avalanche in Mexico for export to other markets, chiefly the US and Canada; those vehicles are no longer assembled in Mexico. In China became Chevrolet's third-largest market, with sales of , vehicles, behind only the United States and Brazil 1,, and , vehicles respectively. A total of locally-manufactured Chevrolets were sold in China in down from a record of in In , Chevrolet held just 2. Launched by GM's India operations, Chevrolet is among the more recent auto brands. Chevrolet officially began business in India on June 6, The Corsa and Astra were built at a plant in Halol , Gujarat. The Cruze and Tavera were built at the Halol plant. Chevrolet also was the sole Engine supplier for the Formula Rolon single seater series in India. In , GM ceased the production and sale of Chevrolet cars in India, but it continues to run service centers. Chevrolet stopped selling cars and ceased production in Indonesia by the end of March Suzuki had also marketed the Chevrolet Cruze subcompact in the past. Earlier efforts during the s and s saw a partnership with Isuzu and Suzuki , with the Chevrolet Chevette in the s from Isuzu, and the Suzuki Cultus from Suzuki during the s, which was rebadged as the Geo Metro. Mitsui Bussan Automotive had been importing and distributing certain GM models since , but will cease their GM import business in November , as GM Japan wants to consolidate the distribution channels. The Chevrolet models that have been imported by Mitsui will no longer be sold once existing inventories are depleted. Thus there were three distinct distribution channels for Chevrolet-branded vehicles at one time in Japan. Chevrolet entered the Malaysian market in , replacing Opel. In , Naza Quest Sdn Bhd ceased to distribute new Chevrolet vehicles in Malaysia, but continues to provide warranty support and aftersales service for existing Chevrolet customers. In Pakistan, Chevrolet introduced its cars in collaboration with a local automobile manufacturer called Nexus Automotive. GM withdrew from the Philippines in and returned in the During Chevrolet's absence in the market, many cars like the Chevrolet Suburban and the Chevrolet Astro have been imported new in the country via grey-market and sold to retailers. There are at least 24 dealerships around the country as of In , the Corvette was added to the roster, making it the most expensive vehicle in the lineup. It is legally imported, as the government has seized and destroyed expensive vehicles that were bought into the country illegally. In , the Camaro returned to the Philippines with a 2. The Daewoo brand was fully replaced by Chevrolet in March In , the Impala was added to the lineup as Chevrolet began importing the American-built sedan to South Korea for the first time. Also Chevrolet Captiva discontinued in July Exports lasted until General Motors is currently exploring cost cutting options as part of its restructuring plan. One of these options involve expanding the Rayong, Thailand plant to add additional capacity to export Colorados to the U. This would allow the Shreveport, Louisiana plant to be closed where the Colorado is also produced. This scenario is plausible only if a free-trade agreement is signed between the U. The United Auto Workers is the most vocal opponent to a change in the tariff structure. In addition to the Colorado pickup trucks, General Motors began assembling Chevrolet Captiva sport utility vehicle in its Rayong plant during June Chevrolet stopped selling its vehicles throughout Thailand in , and sold the Rayong plant to Great Wall. Even though the Australian market of today mainly consists of Australia's own automotive companies alongside European and Asian automobile brands, Australia once had its fair share of American cars as well. Bodies for the local assembly of Chevrolets were built in Australia as early as [56] : 11 and by the newly created General Motors Australia Pty Ltd had established assembly plants in five Australian states to produce Chevrolet and other GM vehicles using bodies supplied by Holden Motor Body Builders. From the early s to the early s the Chevrolet name was also used on various light commercials in Australia. From to the Chevrolet Suburban was sold in Australia as the Holden Suburban, which is expected to return under the Chevrolet badge with the twelfth generation models. The Holden VF Commodore was exported from Australia to the United States as the Chevrolet SS until Holden ended production in May during its transition to a distribution platform of vehicles that are sourced from GM's American and international plants that is expected to badge as Holden vehicles. In addition to the relaunch, Holden Special Vehicles added the Camaro and Silverado to their performance lineup. In the s, the advertising jingle "braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet" [66] adapted from the US "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pies and Chevrolet" came to epitomise the ideal lifestyle of white male South Africans. However, since South Africa was right-hand drive and the US was left-hand drive, along with encouragement by the South African government to use local content, Chevrolets such as the Biscayne were eventually made entirely in South Africa, along with GM's "own car for South Africa": the Ranger. Due to local content laws the cars usually received different engines than in their home markets. However, these were replaced by Opel models like the Rekord , Commodore , and Senator , and in the Chevrolet brand name was dropped in favour of Opel. Because of the political climate at the time, GM decided to divest from South Africa in , and a local group eventually bought out GM's South African operations including the Port Elizabeth plant and renamed the company Delta Motor Corporation , which concentrated on Opels, Isuzus, and Suzukis, built under licence. However, thanks to an improved political climate in the s, GM decided to reenter South Africa, eventually buying out the whole of Delta. In , the Chevrolet name made a comeback, used on the Lumina , a rebadged Holden Commodore , and later on, on the Daewoo range of cars. In , GM withdrew from South Africa, with its truck division and its plant changing hands to Isuzu while at the same time ending all sales and the dealership network of the Chevrolet brand. GM worked with both Isuzu and PSA the new owners of Opel, which GM spun off the division to to ensure existing customers receive parts and technical support during and after the company exit the country. North American—built Chevrolet Impala V8 sedans has also been available in Europe in recent years, marketed as both large family sedans and more economically priced alternatives as high performance executive cars. In the rest of the world, most Daewoo models have worn the Chevrolet badge since During the mids, the Corvette and Cadillac range were marketed in Europe through a separate distribution channel operated by Netherlands-based Kroymans Corporation Group [71] but following its bankruptcy in , [72] General Motors established a new Swiss based subsidiary to relaunch Chevrolet in Europe and add the Corvette, Camaro and Malibu models to the European range. From the beginning of , General Motors reduced its presence in Europe only to its iconic models , such as the Corvette , in order to strengthen its Opel and Vauxhall brands. Although announcing that they will maintain a broad presence in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States , [74] General Motors later reduced their line-up to the iconic models in Russia, and more, the Opel division also exited the Russian market in , while also abandoning production at their Saint Petersburg plant. Chevrolet sales in Western and Central Europe [nb 1] ranged around , units per year since , peaking at , units in , while the market share achieved its highest of 1. The car was used against the German army in Warsaw during the Warsaw Uprising in In collaboration with the Russian company GAZ , the second generation Chevrolet Aveo was produced at the plant in Nizhny Novgorod for the Russian market, starting from the beginning of , [91] until Chevrolet vehicles were also produced at the Avtotor plant, located in Kaliningrad. The current S and Blazer exemplify this strategy. However, more modern vehicles are now being marketed as market conditions change and competition increases. Besides those older models made in Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mercosur countries, Korean sourced cars from former Daewoo factories some markets also get Korean and U. In , General Motors de Argentina , the local GM subsidiary , started importing Chevrolet Double Phaeton models which were welcomed with great demand. In , in order to reduce costs in the Argentine market, General Motors decided to manufacture in Argentina and started producing a sedan, a roadster, a truck chassis and the Chevrolet Double Phaeton, now called "Especial Argentino", a model exclusively designed for the Argentinean market. Sales increased and soon the Oldsmobile , Oakland and Pontiac units were incorporated to the assembly line. When the Second World War broke out the operations were complicated. In the Chevrolet number , was made, but the shortage of products made car production impossible. The last Chevrolet went out of the plant in August In order to avoid the total stoppage, the company made electrical and portable refrigerators and car accessories amongst other items. In , manufacturing plants are enlarged and set up to produce cars, pick ups and trucks. On January 25, the first Argentinean Chevrolet pick-up was introduced. By , the Chevy line, derived from the American Chevy Nova, was presented. The Chevrolet trademark reappeared in for the production of the pick-up in its versions C and D In , a plan for the manufacturing destined for export specially to Brazil and other countries of Mercosur materialized with the building of a new facility near Rosario, Santa Fe , for the production of the Opel-based Chevrolet Corsa and the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Grand Vitara 4x4. In Brazil, the Chevrolet Opala was based on the German Opel Rekord and American Chevrolet Nova from the late s, continuing in production until the early s, when it was replaced by a version of the Opel Omega. Chevrolet's product line-up in Brazil comprised some exclusive designs like the Corsa "B" based Celta , which was sold in Argentina under the Suzuki brand, the Astra , and a Brazilian-designed Vectra based on the Opel Astra H. The passenger car range currently includes the Cruze, the Captiva, the Agile hatchback, Chevrolet Onix. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles line-up includes the S, the Blazer, and the Montana. The Montana is a compact pickup truck, based on the Agile, that is also sold in other Latin American markets. From the s to the mids, there was also a large station wagon, derived from the C10 truck somewhat similar to the Suburban , called the Veraneio. Chile has a mix of Chevrolet models from different GM brands and platforms branded as Chevrolet. Chevrolet production in Chile began in , although at first through local partners in this case, Avayu with the Nova II. Chevrolet has been operating in Ecuador for 80 years. It also sells the Suzuki Supercarry under the Chevrolet name, and the Isuzu Rodeo was sold as the Chevrolet Rodeo throughout the s. In Venezuela , Chevrolet has been operating since , when truck production began in Caracas. In production moved to a plant in Valencia that was purchased from Chrysler. Chevrolet assembled more than 1,, vehicles in its first 50 years in Venezuela. The Colombian Automotive Factory SA Colmotores was founded in and initially produced vehicles in Austin; in the '60s, Simca and Dodge automobiles its first car manufactured was a Coronet ; and then, in , began producing Chevrolet cars. Particularly worthy of mention is the Aveo, Optra and the Spark. Since the early s, Chevrolet cars and trucks were marketed in this country. The Master Deluxe Sedan of the late s was considered to be a pinnacle of luxury. All cars sold through the local dealer, Neal and Massey also franchisee for Vauxhall and Buick , were right-hand-drive, and imported from Canada and Australia. During the late s and early s, Australian Holden DeVilles badged as Chevrolet Caprices were sold, though a few "Islander" limited edition American Chevrolet Caprices were imported. Neal and Massey gave up the GM franchise in and the brand left the market. During the period —, Southern Sales Ltd. Based on the Opel Corsa platform and assembled in Mexico, these were the cheapest new cars available. Poor build quality, unprofessional dealer service, and a limited spare parts supply saw these cars exit the market with only a few units being sold. In , the local Renault dealer marketed the Aveo sedan and hatchback, as well as the Optra sedan a rebadged Suzuki Forenza , with limited success. A more intensive marketing campaign by a subsequent Chevrolet dealer, Lifestyle Motors, met with moderately more success. In March , the Cruze was added to the lineup and features a 1. It bridged the gap between Optra and Epica models. Once the Optra was phased out, a 1. Hendrick has twelve championships, Childress has six championships, and now-Ford Stewart-Haas Racing has two. Chevrolet is the most successful manufacturer to be involved in NASCAR with thirty-nine manufacturer's titles and the most recorded wins by manufacturer. Chevrolet returned to IndyCar in After several years of Honda being the only engine provider, Chevrolet rejoined the series in Chevrolet won several races including the and Indianapolis , as well as three drivers championships. In the Cruze replaced the Lacetti [98] and won the Drivers' and Manufacturers' championship from to In May , Chevrolet replaced Audi as the official automotive sponsor of the English football team Manchester United. The deal ended two years prematurely, in , following GM pulling the Chevrolet brand out of Europe. The Chevrolet bowtie logo was introduced by company co-founder William C. Durant in late According to an official company publication titled The Chevrolet Story of , the logo originated in Durant's imagination when, as a world traveler in , he saw the pattern marching off into infinity as a design on wallpaper in a French hotel. He tore off a piece of the wallpaper and kept it to show friends, with the thought that it would make a good nameplate for a car. However, in an interview with Durant's widow, Catherine, published in a issue of Chevrolet Pro Management Magazine , Catherine recalled how she and her husband were on holiday in Hot Springs, Virginia , in While reading a newspaper in their hotel room, Durant spotted a design and exclaimed, "I think this would be a very good emblem for the Chevrolet. Durant didn't clarify what the motif was or how it was used. Ken Kaufmann, historian and editor of The Chevrolet Review , discovered in a November 12, , edition of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, an advertisement from the Southern Compressed Coal Company for "Coalettes", a refined fuel product for fires. The Coalettes logo, as published in the ad, had a slanted bowtie form, very similar to the shape that would soon become the Chevrolet icon. The date of the paper was just nine days after the incorporation of the Chevrolet Motor Co. One other explanation attributes the design to a stylized version of the cross of the Swiss flag. An October 2, , edition of The Washington Post seems, so far, to be the earliest known example of the symbol being used to advertise the brand. The first bowtie logo without embedded text first appeared in , as part of the Heartbeat of America ad campaign. After the expiry of the exclusivity period, the commercial version of the font Klavika Condensed was released to the public in the fall of As part of Chevrolet's th anniversary in , a dedicated channel was created by the American internet based Pandora Radio station, playing the Top songs mentioning the brand. Earlier marketing efforts touted efficiency combined with savings — "enormous buying power," ; "Quality at low cost," , ""A Six for the Price of a Four," , [] interspersed with what could be described as "loftier" messages positioning the automobile —and Chevy by extension—as "Man's conquest of time," Chevrolet's advertisement promoting reliability has been pulled after recent backlash. In the advertisement which is part of their "Real People. Not Actors" campaign , Chevrolet spokesperson Potsch Boyd claims that "based on a recent nationwide survey by Ipsos , Chevy is more reliable than Toyota, Honda, and Ford. Furthermore, these claims were challenged by Consumer World , which noted that independent studies by J. Power and Consumer Reports contradicted them. FutureBrand, an Interpublic Group of Companies company, has been working with General Motors since , [] who also involved the commissioning of a font that would later sold as Klavika Condensed, as part of re-design of Chevrolet in Campbell-Ewald had served Chevrolet since Prior to the joint venture, Goodby, Silverstein and Partners performed marketing in the U. Commonwealth would handle and supervise creative work worldwide out of Detroit for all markets except China, India and Uzbekistan, where GM has joint auto-making ventures. McCann would continue to handle ads in China and India, and Uzbekistan will be contracted as needed. In , a memo signed by Chevrolet sales and service vice president Alan Batey and General Motors marketing division vice president Jim Campbell was sent to Chevrolet employees at its Detroit headquarters, instructing employees to only use Chevrolet when addressing the brand, in order to present a consistent brand message. A postscript to the memo says a sort of cuss jar - a plastic "Chevy" can - has been placed in the hallway. The proceeds were to be spent on "a team building activity. Although the watches bear the name of Louis Chevrolet, they are not marketed or produced in association with General Motors. The watch brand pays tribute to Louis Chevrolet , co-founder of the Chevrolet automobile company, whose father was a watchmaker and in his childhood helped his father at the workbench. The collection was called Frontenac , the name inherited from the race car company founded by Louis Chevrolet. The Chevrolet watch collection comprises automatic, manually wound and quartz models, equipped with ETA and Ronda movements. The Louis Chevrolet Frontenac watches, manufactured in Porrentruy , the Swiss Jura region, feature the styling cues suggested by the Chevrolet cars. The collection was developed while applying the same materials as used in the car industry. Pearled appliques on the Chevrolet watches' dials remind the metal forms of the old dashboards. The number "8", Chevrolet's racing number, is sported on the case back. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. American automobile division of GM. For other uses, see Chevrolet disambiguation.

Under development before Daewoo's bankruptcy, the Kalos was the company's first new model introduction following its subsequent takeover by General Motors. Originally designed by Italdesign , the Kalos derives directly from the "Kalos Dream" concept vehicle first presented at the Paris Motor Show and subsequent developmental concepts at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Geneva Auto Show, and at the Geneva Show. During this three-year development period Daewoo was struggling financially, with the ultimate fate of the company and the concept vehicle remaining uncertain. The Kalos was sold in three and four available body styles: a 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback from the beginning of production in , and a 3-door hatchback available in certain European markets beginning in Two different T front-end styling designs were sold. When released in , the T headlamps were detached from the horizontal amber turn signal strip, located directly below. This detached style, used primarily in South Korea and North America, was used in conjunction with a semi-elliptical grille. When sales in Europe began in , the headlights were an integrated unit that slanted upwards from the "V-shaped" grille towards the front fenders. In Australia, when the Daewoo Kalos was introduced in , the hatchback featured the integrated lighting arrangement, with the detached style used to differentiate the sedans. In South Korea, where the detached lights were used at first, the integrated design was later utilized as a facelift. The T sedan and five-door hatchback featured a swage line running along the lower body to the rear door, which kinks downward prominently on the five-door. Interiors feature a circular motif throughout. Bearing the internal code T and sold in South Korea as the "Daewoo Gentra", revisions included exterior styling changes, a new interior instrument panel and minor equipment changes, including increased sound deadening. A facelifted hatchback with the sedan's updated instrument panel was presented as the Chevrolet Aveo during the Frankfurt Motor Show , to be marketed in Europe and North America. The Korean market received its own distinct restyle of the hatchback, the Gentra X , whose bumper without the distinctly "Chevrolet" split grille was also used for the Pontiac, Holden and Suzuki variants. The car is produced at the GM Uzbekistan plant. The Ravon Nexia R3 is available with the 1. A version of the T is sold in the Brazilian market under the name Chevrolet Cobalt since Unrelated to the previous car sold in North America , this Cobalt replaced the aging local Chevrolet Corsa. The car is equipped with a 1. Flex engine. Although sporting a similar front end style, it is not directly related to the Chevrolet Agile , since it shares the overall underpinnings with the Sonic, [8] while the Agile is derived from the considerably older Opel Corsa B , from Development of the second-generation Aveo was led by GM Korea , with Opel engineers leading platform development along with significant input from engineers from Australia's Holden and Chevrolet of the United States. The Aveo marked the debut of the Gamma II global subcompact platform. Koromhaz described his goal for the Aveo as being a "four-seat motorcycle" and took design inspiration from motorcycles, notably in the Aveo's exposed headlights and motorcycle-style instrument cluster. In Europe, it retained the "Aveo" name, although sales ended there in as the Chevrolet brand was discontinued in Europe. The North American-spec Sonic is available as a 4-door sedan or five-door hatchback. It comes with a 1. On August 2, , the Sonic had entered production at Orion Assembly , with the first cars arriving at dealerships in October. Chevy was the first US automaker to use this process. Delivery of the 4-door sedan started in late of July , and the hatchback followed in August Production ceased in Early models included the 5-door hatchback with a 1. The base model is based on the equivalent of North American LTZ trim level, while the LT model includes alloy wheels and metallic paint. Also includes rear vision camera with guidelines. RS adds: Unique dark silver alloy wheels, rear wing spoiler, RS badging, body kit, leatherette seats with suede inserts, 6-speed manual transmission and an upgraded 1. The facelift brought a restyled front fascia, new LED taillights and refreshed equipment. The Barina sold in Australia and New Zealand was available only with 6-speed conventional automatic, the 4-speed model being dropped, with the same 5-speed manual in the standard model. In marketing the Sonic, GM had the car driven by skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in a full degree rotation referred to as a kickflip off a ramp and over an oversized skateboard. The Sonic was discontinued in Canada after the model year. Chevrolet is discontinuing the Sonic after the model year, due to GM's plans to convert the Orion assembly to EV production and declining sales. There are no plans for a successor. The Sonic ended production on October 20, In several Central American countries, the Aveo nameplate is being used for the third-generation Chevrolet Sail sedan, which went on sale in Mexico in November for the model year.

Volt production ended in February Sales of the Volt began in the United States in mid-December , followed by various European countries and other international markets in The Volt operates as a pure battery electric vehicle until its battery capacity drops to a predetermined threshold from full charge. From there, its internal combustion engine powers an electric generator to extend the vehicle's range as needed. When the engine is running it may be periodically mechanically linked by a clutch to a planetary gear set, and hence the output drive axle, to improve energy efficiency. The Volt's regenerative braking also contributes to the on-board electricity generation. Deliveries to retail customers in the U. The Society of Automotive Engineers ' SAE definition of a hybrid vehicle states that the vehicle shall have " two or more energy storage systems both of which must provide propulsion power, either together or independently. This contribution from the gas engine is only at high speeds. Normal driving there is no contribution and the car runs all electric. According to the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE definitions, the Volt is a plug-in hybrid vehicle, due to the combination of an internal combustion engine and two electric motors, along with a battery that can accept off-board energy. When the battery capacity drops below a pre-established threshold from full charge, the vehicle enters charge-sustaining mode, and the Volt's control system selects the most efficient drive mode to improve performance and boost high-speed efficiency. The Chevrolet Volt concept car debuted at the January North American International Auto Show , becoming the first-ever series plug-in hybrid concept car shown by a major car manufacturer. This was a significant change in design when compared to the General Motors EV1 of the s, which only seated two to reduce weight and to make the necessary room for the lead-acid battery pack. The battery pack size was reduced, from about Most of the Volt initial design parameters defined for the development of the concept car, then referred as the "iCar" in homage to the iPod , were kept throughout the process up to the final production version. This target range lets drivers make most travel electrically driven, with the assumption that charging takes place at home overnight. This limit to the SOC was necessary in order to maintain operational performance under a wide range of environments, and to minimize the battery degradation to allow at least a ten-year life span. The E-Flex or Voltec powertrain is an attempt to standardize many components of possible future electrically propelled vehicles, and to allow multiple interchangeable electricity-generating systems. The E-Flex powertrain has the potential to adapt the vehicles to pure battery electric , to fuel cell-powered or to several other sources of energy to create electricity on board, such as engine-generator sets genset fueled by gasoline , diesel , biodiesel , ethanol fuel E , or flex-fuel E Regenerative braking would also contribute to the on-board electricity generation. General Motors called this genset an electric vehicle EV range extender. The concept car featured several advanced materials from GE Automotive Plastics that helped GM reduce the vehicle weight by up to 50 percent. The production design model officially unveiled on September 16, , as part of General Motors GM centennial celebration at the Wintergarden headquarters in Detroit. Another reason was the use of General Motors's new global compact vehicle platform Delta II to keep costs reasonable, and shared with the model year Chevrolet Cruze. This change was due to the higher-than-usual central tunnel that runs from the front console to the rear seat that houses the car's T-shaped battery pack. After the concept was put into the pipeline for production, GM began looking for a partner to develop the Volt's lithium-ion battery pack. The carmaker evaluated about 25 battery cell chemistries and constructions from around two dozen lithium-ion battery makers around the world. GM's testing process was conducted at the laboratory the carmaker had created for the GM EV1 program. The battery packs included monitoring systems designed to keep the batteries cool and operating at optimum capacity despite a wide range of ambient temperatures. In April GM started extensive battery testing. The first pre-production test car based on the final Volt design was built in June , in Warren, Michigan, [56] [57] and by October , 80 Volts had been built and were tested under various conditions. Tony Posawatz was the Volt Vehicle Line Director from to , [61] and he was known as employee 1 and led the team from concept to production. General Motors held a ceremony at its Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Plant on November 30, , to introduce the first Chevrolet Volt off the assembly line. The proceeds went to fund mathematics and sciences education in Detroit through the Detroit Public Schools Foundation. No external charging station is required. Capacity of the battery pack was increased to Other specifications remained the same. The battery pack capacity was increased to While driving, after the Volt battery has dropped to a predetermined threshold from full charge, a small naturally aspirated 1. The vehicle also has a regenerative braking system. The electrical power from the generator is sent primarily to the electric motor, with the excess going to the batteries, depending on the state of charge SOC of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. As a result, the fuel filler must be depressurized before opening the tank. If the driver does not run on gasoline, the system automatically runs the maintenance mode, which starts the engine to consume some of the aging fuel and circulate fluids within the engine. The Voltec drivetrain has three power converting elements: [77]. These units are connected via a planetary gear and three electrically-controlled hydraulic clutches to provide power output for propulsion in any of four programmed operating modes: [77]. The drivetrain permits the Volt to operate as a pure battery electric vehicle until its battery capacity has been depleted to a defined level, at which time it commences to operate as a series hybrid design where the gasoline engine drives the generator, which keeps the battery at minimum level charge and provides power to the electric motors. The full charge of the battery is replenished only by loading it on the electrical grid. While operating modes are switched automatically the Volt allows the driver to choose from three drive modes: normal, sport and mountain. The driver hears more engine noise due to the higher rate of power generation required to maintain this mode. Plastic frames hold pairs of lithium-ion cells that sandwich an aluminum cooling fin. The design and construction of that aluminum plate was critical to ensuring an even temperature distribution with no hot or cool spots across the flat, rectangular cell. The battery pack has its own cooling circuit that is similar to, but independent from, the engine cooling system. The minimum SOC varies depending on operating conditions. These changes increases the Volt's all-electric range , but charging takes slightly longer. GM achieved the improved battery performance and durability through minor changes to the material composition of the battery cell chemistry. Li-ion batteries are expected to become less expensive as economies of scale take effect. Because batteries are sensitive to temperature changes, the Volt has a thermal management system to monitor and maintain the battery cell temperature for optimum performance and durability. In cold weather, the car electrically heats the battery coolant during charging or operation to provide full power capability. In hot weather, the car can use its air conditioner to cool the battery coolant to prevent over-temperature damage. If plugged in, recharging can be controlled remotely through a smartphone application. To save energy, the Volt sometimes heats the seats instead of blowing heated air through HVAC system, as heating the vehicle's cabin draws significant power, and can even exceed what is needed to move the vehicle on occasions. It uses 50 percent less energy. The system is also lighter because the use of high grade neodymium magnets. The U. According to Edmunds. In August , General Motors began a training program for first responders when performing rescue duties involving the Chevrolet Volt. Due to significant noise reduction typical of vehicles traveling in all-electric mode at low speeds, the Volt is fitted with a manually activated electronic warning sound system called Pedestrian-Friendly Alert System for use when the car is operating at low speeds to alert pedestrians to the car's presence. GM scheduled the second generation as a model year to be released in the 39 remaining states by early The model complies with stricter Tier 3 emissions requirements and was available nationwide. The second generation Volt has an upgraded powertrain with a 1. GM engineers explained that the second generation Volt was developed using extensive input from Volt owners. These improvements allow the Volt to deliver better EPA ratings than the first generation model. In July , Opel announced that due to the slowdown in sales, they would discontinue the Ampera after the launch of the second generation Volt—and that between and , Opel planned to introduce a successor electric vehicle in Europe. In April , General Motors confirmed that it would not build the second-generation Volt in right-hand-drive configuration. Due to low sales, only units had been sold in Australia by mid-April , and they discontinued the Holden Volt once they sold the remaining stock. The Flint plant was expected to start production of engines a day in early , ramp up daily production to engines in late , and to increase its capacity to 1, a day by late In , General Motors planned an initial production for calendar year of 10, Volts and 45, units for , up from the 30, units initially announced. However, in November GM's sales chief announced that they would not meet its sales goal of 10, vehicles in Out of the production, General Motors expected to produce 10, Amperas for sale in Europe, 6, destined for Opel and 4, for Vauxhall in the UK. In addition, 2, Volts were available for the region. S and instead announced that production in would depend on demand. Department of Energy matching stimulus funds and is planned to open by mid The Chevrolet Volt was officially launched on November 30, , at a ceremony at the Hamtramck plant, where the first production unit for retail sale came off the assembly line. This includes dealers' demo vehicles in North America and Amperas in dealerships in Europe, crash test vehicles and other unavailable Volts owned by GM. These upgrades allowed GM to triple the rate of Volt production and prepared the plant for Volt and Ampera production. This was the second time in that GM has halted Volt production. Production of the model year Volt began in July and customer deliveries began during the same month. These were pre-production units destined for testing purposes before production for retail customers began at the end of Sales of the Chevrolet Volt began in selected markets due to limited initial production, as General Motors' original target for was 10, units. That price excluded destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, optional equipment—and savings due to factory incentives, tax deductions, or other subsidies for qualifying buyers. Thereafter, the applicable tax credit reduces gradually until it is completely phased out beginning on January 1, It is a volt Level II charger, and, according to General Motors, can replenish the Volt's batteries in about four hours. National Electrical Code requires that the charger have its own dedicated volt, amp circuit. In February General Motors began deliveries of a low emission version destined for California that features a new low emissions package that allows the Chevrolet Volt to qualify as an enhanced, advanced technology —partial zero emissions vehicle enhAT-PZEV and have access to California's high-occupancy vehicle lanes HOV. The catalytic converter was modified to add a secondary air-injection pump that " streams ambient air into the exhaust stream to increase its ability to remove pollutants. The permits are handed out on a first-apply, first-served basis. Since sales began in December , a total of , Volts have been sold in the country through December In December the Volt still ranked as the all-time best selling plug-in electric car in the United States, [] but by February it was surpassed by the all-electric Tesla Model 3. Additionally, if gasoline prices continue to rise or if the tax credits expire, the demand for used Chevrolet Volts could quickly increase, raising their market value. On the other hand, if the next-generation Volt's battery has twice the capacity and cost less, as General Motors has claimed, the first generation Volts would be obsolete when the new ones come out in The project objective is to learn the charging patterns of plug-in electric car owners, and to study how a residential fleet of electric vehicles might strain the electric grid if all owners try to charge them at the same, which is what the preliminary monitoring found when the plug-in cars return home in the evening. Chevrolet began taking orders in May [] [] and deliveries began in September in major cities only. This excludes any charges, fees, and optional equipment—and is before any available subsidies or incentives for qualifying buyers. The main differences between the Volt and the Ampera are in their styling. The Ampera has a distinctive front and rear fascia , with a large cut-out in the rear bumper. The Opel Ampera features more stylized alloy wheels as standard, and the side skirts are body-colored rather than black. In the inside there are only minor differences and both versions share the same exact powertrain and battery pack. The additional option is City Mode , which adapts battery management to the needs of commuter travel. City mode or "battery hold" engages the range-extender immediately, allowing to save the energy currently stored in the battery, and when switched off, the range-extender stops and the Ampera is then able to use the energy saved in the battery for pure electric driving, for example for traveling urban areas or restricted zones, such as the European low emission zones or to allow the Ampera to qualify for an exemption of the London congestion charge [82] [83] [] The model year Volt included the "Hold Drive" button to allow drivers to conserve battery-pack energy for use at a particular time of their choice. General Motors production target for was to manufacture 10, Amperas for sale in Europe, 6, destined for Opel and 4, for Vauxhall in the UK, plus an additional 2, Volts were to be made available for the region. The carmaker targeted the Ampera for business fleet market and local government agencies, where Opel has a strong customer base, while the Volt is aimed at retail customers. Embassy in France. Prices by country still varied due to different trim levels in each market. All Volts in the UK came standard with leather interior. The demonstration program is taking place in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. The demonstration Volts were scheduled to be delivered in April The Velite 5 will be manufactured in China. Deliveries of the Holden Volt in the Australian market began in December , and the first Volt was delivered to the U. Ambassador in Canberra. Holden stated that the Volt underwent numerous modifications to better suit it to Australian roads, though the test vehicles were still left-hand drive. General Motors announced that it would not build the second generation Volt in right-hand-drive configuration, so the Volt was discontinued in Australia when the remaining stock sold out. General Motors do Brasil announced that it would import from five to ten Volts to Brazil during the first semester of as part of a demonstration and also to lobby the federal government to enact financial incentives for green cars. If successful, General Motors would adapt the Volt to operate on ethanol fuel , as most new Brazilian cars are flex-fuel. In December , General Motors announced plans to introduce the Volt in limited numbers into Japan in for technology and market test purposes. Exports for retail sales will depend on the results of this trial. The second generation Volt was released for retail customers in December Due to low sales of the first generation model, the second generation Volt was not available in New Zealand. The following tables present retail sales of the Volt and Ampera variants through December for the top-selling national markets by year since deliveries began in December Demonstration vehicles allocated to dealerships are not included in retail sales reports while they are used for test drives. In , General Motors decided to end production in March The primary reason given was that the Volt is a sedan, and sales of traditional sedans were in decline. Car salesmen were proving resistant to selling the car because it was more complicated and thus took more of their time to explain how the vehicle operated. The range-anxiety associated with all-electric vehicles had been in decline due to better battery technology, and most hybrid drivers were turning on their gas-powered engines less frequently. The battery technology developed for the Volt had already been incorporated into the Bolt. These were pre-production units destined for testing purposes and production for retail customers started at the end of The Opel Monza Concept is a four-seat coupe plug-in hybrid concept car with gullwing door unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. According to Opel, this concept is the role model for the next generation of Opel cars, and because of its modular chassis design, future cars based on it would be able to accommodate gasoline, diesel or electric power. The controversy centered on whether, by including a gasoline engine, the Volt should be classified as a hybrid rather than an electric car as claimed by General Motors. General Motors stated that the Volt is an entirely new type of vehicle that the EPA's current fuel economy tests are not suited to rate and that a new test should be devised for this emerging class of hybrid-electrics. One label is for extended-range electric vehicles, like the Chevy Volt, with two modes: all-electric and gasoline-only; and a second label for blended mode that includes a combination of all-electric, gasoline and electric operation, and gasoline only, like a conventional hybrid vehicle. The official EPA rating was issued in November and became the agency's first fuel economy label for a plug-in hybrids. In an attempt to leapfrog Toyota, GM has devoted significant resources to the Chevy Volt" and that "while the Chevy Volt holds promise, it is currently projected to be much more expensive than its gasoline-fueled peers and will likely need substantial reductions in manufacturing cost in order to become commercially viable. In early , it was reported that General Motors would lose money on the Volt for at least the first couple of generations, but it hoped the car would create a green image that could rival the Prius. He said that "I think it's a very fair price. It's the only car that will go coast to coast on electricity without plugging it in, and nobody else can come close. Then the dealers who bought the Volts sell them as used cars with low mileage to private buyers, who no longer qualify for the credit. General Motors acknowledged that 10 dealer-to-dealer Volt sales had taken place among Chevrolet dealers, but the carmaker said they do not encourage such practice. GM explained that the investments will pay off once the innovative technologies of the Volt are applied across multiple current and future products. The battery was found to be the source of the fire. After the fire, both Chevrolet and the NHTSA independently replicated the crash test and a subsequent vehicle rotation procedure to test for any fluid leakage, but in their first attempt they could not reproduce the conditions under which the battery pack ignited. One battery pack was rotated degrees within hours after it was impacted and began to smoke and emit sparks after rotation. In the other case, the battery pack that was crashed-tested one week earlier and that had been monitored since the test caught fire. The NHTSA then took an uncommon step on November 25, and opened a formal safety defect investigation "without any data from real-world incidents" to examine the potential risks involved from intrusion damage to the battery pack in the Chevrolet Volt. As a result of this investigation, GM announced that it would offer any new GM car in exchange to any Volt owner who has concerns while the federal investigation was taking place. Before the carmaker agrees to buy back each vehicle, other options are explored as GM primarily wants to provide loaner cars, but "if the only way we can make them happy is to repurchase it, then we will," a GM spokesman said. General Motors explained that the buy back price includes the Volt purchase price, plus taxes and fees, less a usage fee based on how many miles the car has been run. The NHTSA also said it was working with all automakers to develop postcrash procedures to keep occupants of electric vehicles and emergency personnel who respond to crash scenes safe. Additionally, NHTSA advised to be aware that fires may occur a considerable amount of time after a crash. General Motors said the first fire would have been avoided if GM's protocols for deactivating the battery after the crash had been followed. Customer deliveries of the Opel Ampera in Europe were delayed until the NHTSA completed its investigation of the Volt's battery fire risk to make sure the vehicle is safe. On January 5, , General Motors announced that it would offer a customer-satisfaction program to provide modifications to the Chevrolet Volt to reduce the chance that the battery pack could catch fire days or weeks after a severe accident. The carmaker described the modifications as voluntary enhancements and stated that neither the car nor the battery was being recalled. General Motors determined the June fire was the result of a minor intrusion from a portion of the vehicle into a side section of the battery pack. When the vehicle was put through a slow roll, where it was rotated at degree increments, holding in each position for about five minutes, an additional 1 liter 0. With the vehicle in the degrees position upside down , the coolant came in contact with the printed circuit board electronics at the top of the battery pack and later crystallized. Three weeks later this condition, in combination with a charged battery, led to a short circuit that resulted in the post-crash fire. General Motors explained the modifications will enhance the vehicle structure that surround the battery and the battery coolant system to improve battery protection after a severe crash. The safety enhancements consist of strengthening an existing portion of the Volt's vehicle safety structure to further protect the battery pack in a severe side collision; add a sensor in the reservoir of the battery coolant system to monitor coolant levels; and add a tamper-resistant bracket to the top of the battery coolant reservoir to help prevent potential coolant overfill. During December , GM conducted four crash tests of Volts with the reinforced steel and upgraded cooling system, resulting in no intrusion to the battery and no coolant leakage. On December 22, , the NHTSA also subjected a modified Volt to the same test that led to the original fire, with no signs of the damage that is believed to have been the cause. The NHTSA said "the preliminary results of the crash test indicate the remedy proposed by General Motors today should address the issue of battery intrusion" though its investigation remained open. General Motors declined to say how much the modifications would cost. All 12, Chevrolet Volts produced until December , including all Amperas in stock at European dealerships, were scheduled to receive the safety enhancements. Since production was halted during the holidays, the enhancements were in place when production resumed in early Sales continued, and dealers modified the Volts they had in stock. General Motors sent a letter to Volt owners indicating that they could schedule the service appointment to protect their batteries beginning in the last week of March The new cords were enhanced to add durability, and some of the chargers built after February 5 have the new cords. On January 20, , the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed the Volt's safety defect investigation related to post-crash fire risk. The agency concluded that "no discernible defect trend exists" and also found that the modifications recently developed by General Motors are sufficient to reduce the potential for battery intrusion resulting from side impacts. Representative Jim Jordan held hearings on January 25, , to investigate why the NHTSA opened a formal investigation only five months after the first postcrash battery fire occurred in June. The subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wanted to determine if government officials, including from NHTSA, purposely held back information on the Volt fire for political reasons.

The body was updated in with a modernized treatment to the front and rear, most notably fitting square, flush-mounted lamps in place of the old-school 7-inch sealed beams. Under the hood, these Chevettes had a unique overhead-cam version of the Isuzu-based 1. Eventually, tax laws would shift to favor sub Chevettes had a modest career in touring car and rally racing, thanks to their low cost and low weight, and today they are even seen as foundational platforms for drifting. Around 1. It goes without saying, but, I want one in the worst way. Looking at the Corcel, a keen eye can spot elements of the Falcon and Escort, especially. Ford essentially took over Willys-Overland in and assumed control of the project, and the Corcel was, oddly, released for production a year before the French-built Renault version. Sales grew quickly, with 50, units moving by the end of its first year of production in and totaling 1. The longitudinally-mounted Renault 1. By , the Mk. Before too long, Ford of Brazil dropped the Renault motor altogether for its own 1. As the Corcel ran its course, Ford sought to replace it with another front-drive vehicle. More importantly, the Verona featured the flush-mounted glass and lighting that Ford had begun to implement in its chase for better aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. This move largely eliminated the thick rubber gaskets around fixed pieces of glass, such as the windshield and side glass, while door glass was set as flush to the sheet metal as possible. Nevertheless, the little coupe sold well with its initial Renault-based 1. Instead of broadening the model lineup with different body styles beyond an economy-minded sedan and coupe, Ford instead gave VW the reins for a premium trim of the second-generation Verona. The key factor underlying this tie-up here was a short-lived venture between VW and Ford, known as AutoLatina. As both companies fought for market share amid difficult economic realities in the late s, the partnership was a favorable compromise for both automakers. The globalized portfolio template set in place by Japanese automakers had begun to take root, with exports designed from the ground up like a LEGO kit with interchangeable parts for various market demands, but often sharing the same core chassis and drivetrain. The quality of these products and their competitive pricing ultimately squeezed out the hyper-local products like the Verona. Double lives, Part 2: Chevy vs. Ford in South America Phillip Thomas.

It took me about 1. Here are a few notes to make the job go quicker and end up with a better result: 1. Solder Iron temperature: Set it to about deg C F. Set the temperature just at the point the included solder starts to melt and flow. Heat on the board: Do not hold the soldering iron on the board for more than about five 5 to eight 8 seconds - anything more might damage the very small pad for the stepper motors. Use the provided solder sucker to remove the molten solder. For the SIlverado, Pin A11 this is the pin on the top row, second from the left side when looking at the back of the board is the positive illumination voltage from the vehicle. The anode longer lead of LED will need to be connected to this circuit. Checking continuity from the A11 pin to each of the backlight bulb pads will help in determining which pad the anode should be solder. LED lens: There is a great deal of light emitted from the top of the LED which causes a bright spot behind the gauges. Using some white paint on the curved lens of the LEDs made the LED's output very close to the light provided be the incandescent bulbs. This is a relatively easy project to do, provided you have a little experience with electronics and soldering. As others have commented, there are several very good YouTube videos that I would recommend you view before you start, just to get some background on what is involved. Doing this job yourself will save you between a hundred or two hundred dollars! Hard to believe for 30 bucks you get a soldiering iron and a soldier sucker, AND all the parts to completely rebuild the instrument cluster. I replaced all the stepper motors and upgraded the lights. All my guages were out, and they all work like new. A couple of notes: 1. It doesn't take much heat to de-soldier. Temp at , and a quick touch for 2 or 3 seconds max. I only used the soldier sucker on the stepper Motors. The stepper motors are pinned through the circuit board, but the lights are surface mount. Do the lights before the steppers to allow for room to work. The light polarity matters on the lights. Once you get them soldiered up, go plug the board in and check. I had 4 not working, it took me less then 5 minutes to de-soldier and flip around. When ready to install, plug the cluster in and start the vehicle to test. I had to reposition the oil pressure and tach, and had pressed the temp on to far it wouldn't move. Got everything dialed in, works great. Total job about 2 hours. Best 30 bucks I've ever spent. Very happy. Very easy to install. Watched a quick you tube video no instructions included and now love my cluster and it all works. Only draw back is it comes with bulbs in sets of 10 and my cluster needs Left the blinker bulbs clear and it all worked out. Already recommended to others!! Very happy By Andy on January 6, Images in this review. The product arrived as packaged and seen in the photograph. There is not even any hint or link as to where you can go and find installation instructions. That being said I did find quite a few instructions both written and on YouTube showing how to replace the stepper motors. However my truck came with incandescent lights on the gauge cluster and what is supplied in the kit are LEDs. The LEDs are direct replacement however they will not work unless installed in the proper polarity. Once you cut them to equal length you can tell which is the positive leg because inside the LED itself the negative leg looks like an arrow and it points to the positive leg. The way I found all of my positive connections was too very carefully plugin the gauge cluster PC board to the dash of my truck and turn the lights on and I took one of the LEDs and went around to each set of bulbs checking the polarity and marking which was positive. Therefore I used clear ones for the turn signals. I changed all the rest to blue. By the way you will need to turn on your turn signals and carefully hold your tester led to find the positive lead. Since it is flashing and not always on you have to hold the leads very carefully to make sure you're making contact so you can tell which way is positive. The stepper motors have a stop going counter-clockwise and if you set the needles to zero at that stop as is described on most videos the problem then becomes once the truck Powers the board up the zero in the truck will probably not be the same. So I installed everything together except the top clear lens and took my truck out for a spin and kept fiddling with the needles until I got them all where they needed to be to zero them all out. All in all everything together took about two and a half hours. First time ever sodering, replaced the three stepper motors that haven't worked in years. Also used the blue LED's looks cool too. Used these to fix my truck gauge recently, everything works great!! One cavet for anyone thinking to buy this and use the included led bulbs. The bulbs don't give the best scattered light it is very concentrated in a single area. It still gives me the blue hue i wanted so I don't complain, but some areas in the gauge are dimmer than others, on comparision with the original bulbs which seemed to light up everything evenly.
