# CreateVehicle


**Important**  
 AWS IoT FleetWise will no longer be open to new customers starting April 30, 2026. If you would like to use AWS IoT FleetWise, sign up prior to that date. 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*.
