GM Launches Next-Generation EPC – GM Parts Connect

On July 10, 2026, General Motors launches its new Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC), GM Parts Connect.

The migration of your account to GM Parts Connect has been designed to be as smooth as possible:

  • No software installation is required.
  • Existing user account settings will be automatically transferred.
  • Users can continue working with minimal disruption from day one.
