GMC
GMC is an American automotive manufacturing division of General Motors (GM). The GMC automotive marque is slotted above the Chevrolet brand, below the Cadillac brand, and alongside the Buick brand in terms of build quality and price, often selling rebadged and more upscale versions of Chevy trucks and SUVs.
Founded first as the Grabowsky Motor Company in 1900 by a pair of brothers, the company was renamed the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in 1902 and then incorporated into General Motors. After GM acquired the Reliance Motor Car Company in 1908, Rapid and Reliance were combined and later renamed GMC (also known as the General Motors Truck Company) in 1912.
Primarily a truck company for most of its existence, GMC also produced various commercial vehicles, including ambulances, buses, military vehicles, and motor homes. Later GMC was combined with (and then outlasted) the Pontiac Motor Division in 1996 and began creating SUVs in the 2000s. Currently, the biggest project GMC is undertaking is the upcoming relaunch of the Hummer nameplate as the “Hummer EV,” available in SUV and pickup truck builds.
