HUMMER


HUMMER is a brand name developed by AM General and sold to General Motors in 1983. Based off the High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (the now famous Humvee), the first HUMMER, designated "H1" by GM, debuted in 1992 to a shocked public. The model was discontinued in 2006 though AM General continues to produce them for fleet sales.

The H2 went on sale in 2003. Though sharing the same platform as GM's Chevrolet Tahoe and the GMC Yukon pickups, the H2 is assembled by AM General. A pickup version, the H2 SUT, is also available.

Unlike the H1 and H2, the H3 is solely built by GM. Manufactured at the automaker's Shreveport, Mississippi plant, the H3 is built on the same truck platform as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. While the standard H3 is an SUV, there is a pickup version: the HUMMER H3T.

Both the H2 and H3 are considerable smaller than the H1. GM continues to market, sell, and support all three vehicles.

It is unknown at this time if GM plans to go ahead with an even smaller HUMMER, named the H4, at this time
