On display at the show will be a diverse lineup of products that highlight the company’s continuous innovative spirit and its commitment to future technologies. Making its US debut, the HUMVEE NXT 360 delivers MRAP levels of protection in a truly light tactical vehicle for increased survivability without sacrificing mobility or agility.

This vehicle represents the latest automotive technology that AM General offers customers, including enhanced occupant safety, upgraded powertrain options, and improved mobility and handling.

Together, the companies are looking at innovative ways to meet the U.S. Army’s future requirements for extended-range hybrid, increased sustainability and performance through electrification.
