General Motors VSS platforms
Vehicle Set Strategy is a series of four automotive platforms developed by American manufacturer General Motors for their vehicles as part of an effort to consolidate their platform usage for the present and future. GM eventually plans to have the VSS platforms underpin over 75% of their models, the exceptions being the BEV3 platform used for electric vehicles and specialty vehicles like the Corvette.
VSS-F
VSS-F is GM's primary front-wheel drive platform as of 2024, considered a successor to the Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon platforms. It is planned to underpin many subcompact to fullsize cars as well as GM's smaller crossovers in the future, a pattern established by the first models to use it, the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX. The platform can also be used for all-wheel drive vehicles.Of the four, this platform has the most developed implementation plan, with three variants already established: which are VSS-F A for minicompact cars, VSS-F B/C for subcompact and compact cars and crossovers, and VSS-F D/E for midsize and fullsize cars.
