# AWS::IoTFleetWise::Vehicle
<a name="aws-resource-iotfleetwise-vehicle"></a>

 Creates a vehicle, which is an instance of a vehicle model (model manifest). Vehicles created from the same vehicle model consist of the same signals inherited from the vehicle model.

**Note**  
 If you have an existing AWS IoT thing, you can use AWS IoT FleetWise to create a vehicle and collect data from your thing. 

For more information, see [Vehicles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-fleetwise/latest/developerguide/vehicles.html) in the *AWS IoT FleetWise Developer Guide*.
