Chevrolet Express – the collective page of the full-size van, successor to the Chevy Van since 1996, G1500 to G3500 trims, Vortec petrol and Duramax diesel engines, 142 to 250 kW
This page gathers the Chevrolet Express, the full-size cargo van with which General Motors replaced the previous Chevy Van in 1996; the sister brand GMC sells the structurally identical vehicle as the Savana. The type designations G1500, G2500 and G3500 name the payload class analogous to the pick-up nomenclature, Cargo Van the windowless delivery version, Passenger the people-carrier version. The model list also shows conversions by the outfitter Starcraft and other body builders into travel and disabled-transport vehicles. The engines on offer are Vortec petrol engines (4.8 to 6.0 litres) and the 6.6-litre Duramax diesel.

The register lists here 32 versions with outputs from 142 to 250 kW, eight-cylinder engines throughout of 4,801 to 6,605 cm³, unladen weights from 2,542 to 4,006 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 5,443 kg, lengths from 5,500 to 7,020 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,480 mm.
In North America the Express is among the standard vehicles for trades, delivery services and people transport, competing there mainly with the Ford Transit and the Ram ProMaster.
On used examples, rust on the sills and wheel arches, the condition of the eight-cylinder engine – on the Duramax diesel also the injection system and turbocharger –, the automatic transmission, and on converted vehicles the function of the additional equipment count; parts run through the GM network.
