Chevrolet will be the driving force behind the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Torch Relay as it makes its way across the nation. Through its sponsorship of the Torch Relay and involvement in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Chevrolet is making it possible for millions of Americans in hometowns across the country to share in the Olympic experience.

Chevrolet will provide a full-line up of more than 150 cars and trucks to help transport the Olympic Flame on its route to Salt Lake City. The Olympic Torch Relay core caravan consists of a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 pace car, a TrailBlazer, an Impala, a Suburban and an Avalanche, which will serve as the command vehicle. The convoy includes advance operations, torchbearer shuttles, stage production trucks and support equipment.

Chevrolet has also developed the Chevrolet Avalanche Torch Transport (C.A.T.T.), a specially-designed Avalanche created to transport and protect the Olympic Flame.
