Military-Grade Toughness Meets Civilian Comfort
Summary:
The legendary Hummer, renowned for its formidable off-road capabilities, has captured hearts in both military and civilian arenas. After 14 successful years and a production run of 12,000 units, the iconic H1 Hummer has ceased production. The facility responsible for assembling the H1 has transitioned to manufacturing High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HUMVEEs) for military use. Remarkably, not a single employee lost their job during this change.---
Hummer off-road vehicles have left an indelible mark in both the military and civilian sectors. After producing 12,000 units over 14 years, the manufacturing of the famed H1 Hummer has officially ended. The assembly plant now focuses on creating military-grade High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HUMVEEs). Importantly, this transition occurred without any job losses.
Hummers, recognized as large 4x4 off-road vehicles, are sometimes classified as trucks in nations like New Zealand and Australia due to their high fuel consumption, which exceeds the standards for typical SUVs. Originally developed by AM General?"a merger of American Motors and Jeep?"General Motors acquired the Hummer brand in 1999. While the Hummer shares its signature 7-slot front grill with Jeep, AM General continued its production in South Bend, Indiana, now under the General Motors division.
The Hummer gained fame in 1990 when featured by ESPN for a noteworthy expedition from London to Beijing, tackling the rugged terrain of the former Soviet Union. Its reputation as a reliable 4-wheel drive vehicle soared with its performance in Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
Today, the 2008 H2 and H3 models, civilian versions of the Hummer, are highly sought after in the SUV market. Arnold Schwarzenegger, enamored by a parade of HUMVEEs during the filming of "Kindergarten Cop" in 1990, advocated for a civilian model.
The 2008 H2 is an SUV offering a variant, the H2 SUT, equipped with a six-foot pickup extension for added versatility. With a 6.2-liter V8 engine, it delivers 393 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque via a 6-speed Hydra Matic 6L80 automatic transmission. Its 9.7-inch ground clearance is complemented by a Traction Control System, capable of applying brakes to individual wheels, and a unique Panic Break Assist feature for exceptional off-road performance.
Meanwhile, the 2008 H3, a mid-sized SUV, comes in variants like the standard H3, H3 Alpha, and H3x. The H3 is a more compact, agile, and fuel-efficient version than the original H1. The H3 Alpha boasts a more powerful Vortec 5.3-liter V8 engine, producing 300 horsepower at 5,200 rpm, while the standard H3 features a Vortec 3700 3.7-liter engine. The H3x, designed for urban use, is adorned with chrome accents, a roof rack, and luxurious accessories. The H3 is available with both a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed Hydra Matic 4L60 Transmission, whereas the H3 Alpha is exclusively offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Committed to innovation, Hummer is embracing bio-fuel technology for its future models. Schwarzenegger himself converted his Hummer to a bio-fuel engine. With Hummer, experience a blend of rugged durability and business-class comfort. Show off your pride with Hummer keychains, featuring flawless metal designs engraved with Hummer H2 or H3 text.
