How many SSR were made in 2004?

In brief: no new Soviet Socialist Republics were created in 2004. If you meant solid-state relays, production figures depend on scope (global vs regional, which manufacturers, and whether you count units or revenue) and require specific sourcing. This article walks through both interpretations and how to verify precise numbers.


SSR as Soviet Socialist Republics


In the historical-political sense, SSR refers to the union republics that made up the former Soviet Union. There were 15 such republics, each designated as a Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR). By 2004, the USSR had dissolved (in 1991), and no new SSRs were created in 2004. The SSRs that existed before 1991 continued as independent states or evolved into other political arrangements.


Below is the list of the 15 union republics that formed the USSR (the classic SSRs):



  • Armenian SSR

  • Azerbaijan SSR

  • Belarusian SSR (Byelorussian SSR)

  • Estonian SSR

  • Georgian SSR

  • Kazakh SSR

  • Kyrgyz SSR

  • Latvian SSR

  • Lithuanian SSR

  • Moldavian SSR

  • Russian SFSR

  • Tajik SSR

  • Turkmen SSR

  • Ukrainian SSR

  • Uzbek SSR


These 15 SSRs existed as political units within the USSR prior to its dissolution in 1991. After 1991, they became the basis for independent nations, and no new SSRs were established in 2004 or any year after the dissolution.


SSR as Solid-State Relays (electronic devices)


If SSR stands for solid-state relays, the question shifts from history to industry data. In 2004, there was no single publicly published global tally of “how many SSRs were made”. Production is reported in different ways (units shipped, shipments by region, or revenue) and varies by manufacturer, product family, and market segment. To obtain a precise figure, one would need to define the scope (global vs regional, which models are included, and whether OEM/white-label production is counted).


These are the common paths to verify exact numbers for 2004 SSR production:



  • Company annual reports and press releases from major SSR manufacturers active in 2004 (for example, leading electronics and automation firms that produced SSRs).

  • Market research reports from the era covering the SSR segment, typically available through libraries or research vendors (often priced access).

  • Industry statistics and trade data from electronics associations or government manufacturing databases in key markets (US, EU, Asia).


Because the SSR category spans multiple product lines and manufacturers, a precise count requires narrowing the scope. If you specify whether you want global totals, a particular region, or a subset of SSR products, I can help locate the most relevant figures and sources.


Summary


The meaning of SSR determines the answer. Politically, there were zero new Soviet Socialist Republics created in 2004. In the realm of electronics, solid-state relay production in 2004 is not captured by a single universal figure and depends on scope and sources. Clarifying which SSR you mean and the geographic/product scope will allow me to provide a precise figure with citations.

How much is a 2004 SSR worth?


The value of a 2004 Chevrolet SSR varies significantly, but generally ranges from approximately $12,000 to $23,000, with an average market value around $22,500 to $24,500. The specific price depends heavily on condition, mileage, history, and local market demand. Exceptional or rare examples can sell for much higher prices, sometimes over $40,000, while poorly maintained ones might sell for less. 
Factors that influence the value

  • Condition: A vehicle's condition is the most important factor. Well-maintained examples are worth more, while those with damage, rust, or mechanical issues will be worth less. 
  • Mileage: Lower mileage generally leads to a higher value. A 2004 SSR with extremely low miles will command a premium. 
  • History: A clean vehicle history report with no accidents is more valuable. The number of owners also plays a role. 
  • Market demand: Prices can vary based on location and current market trends. The SSR is becoming a sought-after collector's item, which drives up prices for good examples. 
  • Modifications: Extensive or undesirable modifications can decrease the value. Original or well-executed modifications may have a positive effect. 

Examples of recent sales and listings
  • Average market price: The average price for a 2004 SSR is approximately $22,736 according to CarGurus. 
  • Average sale on Autotrader: Listings on Autotrader range from around $14,000 to $53,000, with an average price of $23,392. 
  • Recent auction sale: A 2004 Chevrolet SSR sold for $21,000 at an auction on Bring a Trailer on November 2, 2025. 
  • Maximum auction price: The highest auction price for a 2004 SSR in the last three years was $42,900, typically for exceptional examples. 
  • Low auction price: The lowest price was around $11,000 for vehicles with significant maintenance needs or accident history. 



What is the best year for a Chevy SSR?


Final note: '05 and '06 are the best years to get, HP was increased from 300 to 390. If you use it as a weekend fun car I say go for it.



How many Chevy SSR were made by year?


According to carsalesbase.com, just 1,664 were sold in calendar year 2003, 9,648 in 2004, 8,107 in 2005, 3,803 in 2006, 244 (remaining 2006 models) in 2007 and the last 13 in 2008. That adds up to 23,479, though other sources contend that total production was 24,150, of which 24,112 were available to the public.



Is the Chevy SSR rare?


Analysts estimate that 24,150 SSRs were produced in total. Of the total production, 24,112 were available for sale to the public.
