<a name="API_CreateVehicle"></a>

**Important**  
 AWS IoT FleetWise is no longer open to new customers. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see [AWS IoT FleetWise availability change](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-fleetwise/latest/developerguide/iotfleetwise-availability-change.html).

 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 [Create a vehicle (AWS CLI)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-fleetwise/latest/developerguide/create-vehicle-cli.html) in the * AWS IoT FleetWise Developer Guide*.
