The History of Hummer
Hummer is a brand of vehicles sold by General Motors. The original Hummer HMMWV, M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, was created to be an armored military vehicle. It has since made its way into popular consciousness and controversy.
Hummers were originally made by AM General Corporation, a former heavy industries division of American Motors. The buzz about this warrior vehicle started in 1990, when two white Hummers traveled from London to Beijing over the rough terrain of central Soviet Union. Not only did the Hummers finish the trek in record time and with ease but also they looked great doing so, as their progress was broadcast around the world on ESPN. Although the pictures were powerful PR, the exposure paled in comparison to that which it received for its service during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
In 1991, AM General began to sell a civilian version of the M998 to the public under the brand name Hummer. In 1999, AM General sold the brand name to General Motors but continued the manufacturing. Encouraged by the popular acceptance of the H1, GM introduced two new models, the H2 and H3. The new models kept the rugged looks of the H1 but started fitting the new models with more consumer pleasing amenities. In May of 2006, GM announced that it was discontinuing production of the H1.
The current popularity of the Hummer with many consumers may be due in large part to the popularity it has enjoyed among the rich and famous, however, where there is this much buzz, there is controversy. Hummer 1 was basically the same vehicle used by the military except it had no amour or weapons; however, the drive train, frame, body suspension, etc. are exactly the same. The US fuel economy regulations do not apply to H1 and H1 because they can weigh over 8,500 lbs. These large, heavy vehicles require a lot of fuel; it is estimated that H1 gets about 16-mpg diesel, while the H2 gets about 9.6-mpg gas. And while these numbers are similar to those of other heavy trucks and SUV’s, many economy and ecology minded people are asking (some rather loudly) if such a large vehicle is needed to pick up kids from ballet practice. These questions may be responsible in part for the discontinuation of H1 as GM attempts to pare down the size without diminishing the image. New models will soon become available.
