HUMMER® H1 & H2
Producing a civilian version of the battle-tested military Humvee® was
a natural progression for AM General. In 1992, when the HUMMER was introduced
as a civilian truck, it had become apparent that the public understood
its unique off-road capabilities.
Today the HUMMER H1® is still a vehicle without peer. It takes all the
tough characteristics of the military High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled
Vehicle (HMMWV) and refines them slightly for civilian use.
For nearly a decade, the HUMMER caught the country’s eye and it
became a highly sought after, one-of a kind vehicle. It’s an icon
of strength, durability and individualism.
In late 1999, AM General and General Motors Corporation finalized an
agreement to jointly pursue product, marketing and distribution opportunities
for HUMMER. Under the final agreement, GM acquired the exclusive ownership
of the HUMMER brand name worldwide and the current HUMMER was renamed
the HUMMER H1. Although GM acquired the HUMMER brand, they do not own any part of AM General.
In 2002, AM General opened its new HUMMER H2® Assembly
Plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, next to the plant that produces the military
Humvee and the HUMMER H1. There it assembles the exciting new SUV and
SUT variants of the HUMMER H2, designed and brought to market by GM.
