Hummer H1 mode year 2004

The Hummer H1 is a civilian vehicle based on the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle  HMMWV popularly known as the Humvee which was created by AM General

History

Originally released in the civilian market in 1992, the Hummer H1 owes its birth to the popularity of photos from Operation Desert Storm and the enthusiastic campaign from actor Arnold Schwarzenegger who personally owns several variants of Hummer vehicles GM announced that 2006 would be the last model year for the Hummer H1 with production winding down in June 2006 due to a new emission laws for Diesel engine vehicles which take effect in 2007 No version of the Hummer H1 ever produced would meet these new standards. AM General currently has orders for an excess of 50,000 new HMMWVs to be produced between 2006-2009 for the United States Military AM General also will continue to produce the H1 just not the Alpha. These vehicles will be sold through Fleet sales The next H1 will most-likely bear a refined version of the prior 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine, but that has not been confirmed  Selling the H1's through fleet sales will allow the AM General to not be subjected to the new emission rules and regulations AM General has sufficient fleet orders to produce 600-800 units per year right now

Specifications

The Hummer H1 has three common variants a convertible-like soft top, a four door hard top pickup truck and a Wagon body version Other less known variants include a two door pickup truck and a four-door slantback At this time the convertible/soft top and the station wagon versions are the only ones available in the mass market The two door and four door pickup versions are only available in fleet livery

    5.7 L Vortec 5700 gasoline V8 TBI/GM 4L80-E 4-speed
    6.5 L turbo Detroit Diesel V8/GM 4L80-E 4-speed
    6.6 L Duramax LLY turbo Diesel/Allison 1000 5-speed  model year 2006

The Hummer H1 shares some common driveline parts with its HMMWV brethren Items like brakes differentials frame and major body panels  hood tailgate and quarter panels are identical between the HMMWV and the Hummer H1 All Hummer H1s and HMMWVs come off the same first stage assembly line, and then are separated midway to either become a military HMMWV or a civilian H1

Hummer H1s are unique in the way they handle off road They are inherently very stable, thanks to their wide stance They also can ford 30 inches  76 cm of water climb a 22-inch  56 cm step, have a stock ground clearance of 16 inches  41 cm  thanks to its design of tucking driveline components inside a channel, which subsequently intrudes into the cabin space of the vehicle have approach/departure angles of 72/37.5 degrees and most H1s are equipped with Central Tire Inflation System  CTIS which enables the driver to increase or decrease the tire air pressure at will

Hummer H1s have many unusual features They use inboard brakes They have geared hubs allowing the drivetrain's half shafts to be up high for greater clearance  The radiator is up high sloping back over the engine. Rather than using simple runflat tires aluminum or rubber inserts are an optional feature for runflat ability A central tire inflation system is available as an option Chemical warfare resistant paint is available only on the military version

Hummer H2 SUT model year 2005

Hummer H2 SUT  model year 2005 The H2 is the second vehicle sold under the Hummer marque of General Motors. It is a large SUV  though smaller than the Hummer H1 with room for five passengers and substantial off-road ability. The rearmost part of the H2 SUV was modified to a pickup truck bed for the 2004 H2 SUT  Sport Utility Truck

Overview

The H2 is built under contract by AM General at a specially constructed plant in Mishawaka  Indiana USA Although it shares GM's GMT820 truck platform with the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon those vehicles differ in many ways and are constructed in three other GM plants  The H2's final frame assembly is made up of 3 sections The front uses a modified GM 2500 Series utility frame the mid section is all new and is completely boxed and the rear section uses a modifed GM 1500 Series frame which is upgraded for the 8000 pound  3629 kg gross vehicle weight.

H2 sales were initially strong, but fell to 28,898 for 2004 and 23,213 for 2005.

The H2 was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2003.

Engine

2003–2005 6000 6.0 L  366 in³ V8

Capabilities

With its high ground clearance large tires, protective underbody plates, and low gearing, the H2 is capable of climbing over a 20-inch-high  0.4 m step-up wall A massive truck frame and wide track offer stability against overturning compared to some of the more common light truck SUVs although objective tests have not been performed by the government or other outside parties due to its specialised vehicle class

Fuel economy

For typical travel on improved roads users report fuel economy of between 10 and 14 miles per gallon, which converts to between 14 and 17 L/100 km. Worst case urban driving is said to be in the range of 8 to 14 U.S mpg  21 to 25 L/100 km Although General Motors does not provide official H2 fuel economy ratings most reviews have observed high single to low double digit mileage similar to the numbers above

It should be noted that other large vehicles also have poor fuel economy especially with optional larger engines including the Dodge Ram 1500 series pickup trucks equipped with either the 8.3L V10  MSRP US$48,500 or the 4.7L V8 Flexible Fuel engine running E85 fuel  MSRP US$31,300 Both of these engines are rated at 9 U.S mpg city and 11 U.S. mpg highway by the E.P.A. as one example

Tax benefits

Under the United States income tax code the cost of vehicles over 6,000 pounds  2722 kg can be deducted from income This deduction was enacted decades ago to assist self employed people in purchasing a vehicle for business use The weight minimum was intended to limit the deduction to commercial-type trucks For many years the deduction remained below the average cost of a new vehicle since large trucks were relatively inexpensive Since it is a reduction in taxable income the actual value of this deduction averages 30% of the price of the vehicle in question

The increasing popularity of these vehicles in the last decade, however pushed their average price to nearly double the average passenger car cost. In response the 2002 Tax Act increased this  Section 179 depreciation deduction" to US$75,000 and it rose again to US$102,000 for the 2004 tax year. This is more than three times the current average cost of a passenger car in the United States and covers a large number of luxury models including the Hummer H2 In late 2004 the deduction was again reduced to US$25,000.

Criticism

The Hummer H2 is one of the most severely criticized civilian vehicles on the market today. Critics have expressed concern at the fuel economy which they cite as being among the most inefficient of vehicles The Environmental Protection Agency does not test them for fuel economy because of their weight, they are thus categorised as light trucks and thus are not bound to fuel economy standards

The Hummer H2 is criticised for contributing towards petroleum comsumption in the United States. In addition, they are criticized for obstructing the views of drivers behind them with their large vehicles Criticism is also leveled at the H2 by safety advocates who have expressed concern that their size and height make them far deadlier to smaller vehicles as well as bicyclists and pedestrians since the front of the Hummer H2 will likely strike the head and/or chest where injuries are far more life threatening instead of the knees where regular cars are most likely to impact a pedestrian

Hummer H1 Alpha model year 2006

Hummer H1 Alpha model year 2006  The Hummer H1 is a civilian vehicle based on the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle HMMWV popularly known as the Humvee, which was created by AM General.

History

Originally released in the civilian market in 1992, the Hummer H1 owes its birth to the popularity of photos from Operation Desert Storm and the enthusiastic campaign from actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who personally owns several variants of Hummer vehicles. GM announced that 2006 would be the last model year for the Hummer H1 with production winding down in June 2006, due to a new emission laws for Diesel engine vehicles which take effect in 2007. No version of the Hummer H1 ever produced would meet these new standards. AM General currently has orders for an excess of 50,000 new HMMWVs to be produced between 2006-2009 for the United States Military. AM General also will continue to produce the H1, just not the Alpha. These vehicles will be sold through Fleet sales. The next H1 will most-likely bear a refined version of the prior 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine, but that has not been confirmed. Selling the H1's through fleet sales will allow the AM General to not be subjected to the new emission rules and regulations. AM General has sufficient fleet orders to produce 600-800 units per year right now.

Specifications

The Hummer H1 has three common variants: a convertible-like soft top, a four-door hard top pickup truck and a Wagon body version. Other less known variants include a two-door pickup truck and a four-door slantback. At this time, the convertible/soft top and the station wagon versions are the only ones available in the mass market. The two door and four door pickup versions are only available in fleet livery.

Five engine types and three automatic transmission types can be found in Hummer H1s. The common engine/transmission combinations are:

6.2 L Detroit Diesel V8/GM TH400/3L80 3-speed
6.5 L Detroit Diesel V8/GM 4L80-E 4-speed
5.7 L Vortec 5700 gasoline V8 TBI/GM 4L80-E 4-speed
6.5 L turbo Detroit Diesel V8/GM 4L80-E 4-speed
6.6 L Duramax LLY turbo Diesel/Allison 1000 5-speed (model year 2006)

The Hummer H1 shares some common driveline parts with its HMMWV brethren. Items like brakes, differentials, frame and major body panels (hood, tailgate and quarter panels) are identical between the HMMWV and the Hummer H1. All Hummer H1s and HMMWVs come off the same first stage assembly line, and then are separated midway to either become a military HMMWV or a civilian H1.

Hummer H1s are unique in the way they handle off road. They are inherently very stable, thanks to their wide stance. They also can ford 30 inches (76 cm) of water, climb a 22-inch (56 cm) step, have a stock ground clearance of 16 inches (41 cm) (thanks to its design of tucking driveline components inside a channel, which subsequently intrudes into the cabin space of the vehicle), have approach/departure angles of 72/37.5 degrees and most H1s are equipped with Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), which enables the driver to increase or decrease the tire air pressure at will.

Hummer H1s have many unusual features. They use inboard brakes. They have geared hubs, allowing the drivetrain's half shafts to be up high for greater clearance. The radiator is up high, sloping back over the engine. Rather than using simple runflat tires, aluminum or rubber inserts are an optional feature for runflat ability. A central tire inflation system is available as an option. Chemical warfare resistant paint is available
only on the military version

Hummer H3X model year 2007

DETROIT  Less than a year after the H3 went on sale, HUMMER is unveiling a new model called the H3x. It is based on the H3 Street concept shown at the automotive industry's annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in November

The 2007 H3x, designed to appeal to buyers with an interest in a customized appearance, injects new energy into the HUMMER lineup, while delivering the brand's trademark iconic bold design and unmatched off-road prowess.

 The H3x enables buyers to enjoy the appearance of a personalized, accessorized truck available directly from the factory said Susan Docherty, HUMMER general manager. "It's intended for those who want to make a personal style statement and differentiate themselves from other H3 owners

The H3x begins with an H3 equipped with the Luxury package, chrome tube steps, chrome appearance package and chrome fuel door. The package also includes a body-color grille and spare tire cover, unique tires, wheels and center cap, and a brush guard. The interior features embroidered headrests

Consumers can further personalize their H3x with any of the H3's eight exterior colors and three leather interiors. The model is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in late summer of 2006. It will be available only in the United States and Canada.

H3X was initially called the H3 Street

Hummer H3R Off Road Concept model year 2007

Hummer H3R Off Road Concept model year 2007 Thanks primarily to the efforts of the Team HUMMER racing team, led by Rod Hall, the HUMMER H3 has quickly proved to be a formidable off-road competitor. It runs - and wins - in stock-class off-road races, where racers must rely on production chassis and powertrains. The H3R pays homage to the racing SUV while pushing the envelope on what could be considered "stock" - supposing the factory decided to drop in the 505-horsepower, 7.0L V-8 from the Corvette Z06. In addition to the high-powered engine, the H3R also sports a number of racing-inspired exterior modifications and an interior that blends racing functionality with boulevard comfort and convenience. No, a production H3 equipped with an LS7 engine isn't in the cards, but for 2008, HUMMER offers the H3 Alpha, which is powered by a new, 300-hp 5.3L all-aluminum V-8.

Hummer HX Concept model year 2008

Hummer HX Concept With its unmistakable HUMMER design and a compact, go-anywhere driving ethic, the HUMMER HX concept challenges the hierarchy of the trail. HUMMER displayed the nimble, reconfigurable off-roader at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.

More compact than a HUMMER H3 - 81 inches (2,057 mm) wide, with a 103-inch wheelbase (2,616-mm) - the HX concept is an open-air, two-door off-road vehicle that packs the off-road acumen for which HUMMER has become legendary, along with an easily convertible body that acclimates to varied trail conditions, cargo needs or passenger whims. Its design is based on the ideas developed by a trio of young designers who are new to the HUMMER studio.

"The HX is HUMMER's vision of an agile, trail-ready, open-air vehicle that fits the lifestyles of everyone who needs or wants to drive off road," said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "Of course, it carries exceptional off-road capability and the distinctive styling for which all HUMMERs are known."

The HX offers an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger, and a modular, removable rear roof assembly. With the roof panels and roof assembly removed, the HX is transformed into a true convertible.

Easy removal of the roof panels and rear-roof assembly enables quick conversion from a closed vehicle to an open one. The HX also was designed with several roof assemblies, allowing this versatile vehicle to be configured as an SUT (with the roof assembly removed), a stylish slant-back or a traditional, wagon-like design that offers a bit more cargo space

Hummer H2 model year 2008

HUMMER announced the 2008 H2, with a completely redesigned, more refined interior that combines luxury with HUMMER's legendary ruggedness; enhanced safety features and a more powerful engine that is coupled with a new, six-speed automatic transmission. The new powertrain combination improves efficiency when compared with previous models.

"The 2008 HUMMER H2 represents a major step in the evolution of this iconic vehicle," said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "From performance to comfort to safety and overall refinement, the new H2 lineup delivers more of what customers expect from HUMMER; they will be especially impressed with the new, more refined interior."

HUMMER revealed the 2008 H2 at the New York Auto Show. The powertrain, interior and exterior changes also are included on the H2 SUT. The '08 H2 and H2 SUT go on sale later this year.

The new powertrain combination consists of a 6.2L all-aluminum small-block V-8 engine, rated at 393 horsepower (293 kW) - an increase of about 20 percent over the previous engine - and a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. Performance-optimizing engine technologies, such as variable valve timing, and the six-speed's wide gear ratios, including a "tall" overdrive gear, enable the improved performance and efficiency over previous models.

"This is one of those rare instances where enhanced performance is matched with improved efficiency," said Walsh. "More power in the H2 helps make highway maneuvers, such as entering from a freeway on-ramp, feel effortless while simultaneously bolstering towing capability
