AWS IoT FleetWise will no longer be open to new customers as of April 30, 2026. Existing AWS IoT FleetWise customers can continue using the service. The [Guidance for Connected Mobility on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/connected-mobility-on-aws/) provides guidance on how to develop and deploy modular services for connected mobility solutions that can be used to achieve equivalent capabilities as AWS IoT FleetWise.

# Create an AWS IoT FleetWise fleet
<a name="create-fleet-cli"></a>

You can use the [CreateFleet](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-fleetwise/latest/APIReference/API_CreateFleet.html) API operation to create a vehicle fleet. The following example uses AWS CLI.

**Important**  
You must have a signal catalog before you can create a fleet. For more information, see [Create an AWS IoT FleetWise signal catalog](create-signal-catalog.md).

To create a fleet, run the following command.
+ Replace *fleet-id* with the ID of the fleet that you're creating.

  The fleet ID must be unique and have 1-100 characters. Valid characters: letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9), colons (:), dashes (-), and underscores (\$1).
+ (Optional) Replace *description* with a description.

  The description can have 1-2048 characters.
+ Replace *signal-catalog-arn* with the ARN of the signal catalog.

```
aws iotfleetwise create-fleet \
   --fleet-id fleet-id \
   --description description \
   --signal-catalog-arn signal-catalog-arn
```

If you [enabled encryption](key-management.md) using a customer managed AWS KMS key, include the following policy statement so that your role can invoke the `CreateFleet` API operation.
