The first version of the platform was issued in 2001 with the introducion of Corsa C and was a development of GM4200 platform. The architecture was developed by Opel in Germany and was based on the Opel Corsa.

Current vehicles based on this platform:

A new version of the Gamma platform, dubbed SCCS (Small Common Components and Systems), was codeveloped since 2002 by a team of Fiat and Opel engineers located in Turin. The platform premiered with 2006 Fiat Grande Punto and is used in 2007 Corsa.

Even after the dissolution of the GM/Fiat partnership, both companies retain the rights to continue developing SCCS-derived models.

Vehicles based on SCCS platform:

GM Daewoo will take responsibility for future development of the mini car platform, probably basing it on subcompact T-series platform used in Lanos and Kalos. GM intends this new Gamma to be a true global small car platform, with first models reportedly to arrive by 2009-2010.

The vehicles will be much more similar architecturally than the current versions, but will be assembled at factories in China, Germany, India, Korea, Mexico, Thailand, and Venezuela. A shorter version of the platform will spawn smaller cars like the Chevrolet Spark for the developing world, with assembly and sales in China, Colombia, India, Korea, Poland, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
