Hummer - multilayer printed circuit boards - printed circuit assemblies Manufacturer by hi joiney
History Hummers were originally built by AM General Corporation which was formerly AMC Jeep s General Products division in its Mishawaka Indiana assembly plant They were created under a contract for the United States armed forces The first model the Hum Vee was built in a variety of military based equipment and versions These included troop carriers gun turrets and radar The U S military on receiving their quota have adapted some of the vehicles including modifications to facilitate a directional microwave crowd control beam Active Denial System AM General had planned to sell a civilian version of the Hum Vee as far back as the late 1980s In 1990 two matching white Hum Vees were driven from London to Beijing over the rough roads of central Soviet Union The Hummers made the trip with ease for they were built to drive on off road terrain The highlights of this journey were broadcast in the United States on ESPN This publicity would pale in comparison to the attention that the Hum Vee received for its service in Operation Desert Storm the following year Also a privately owned Hum Vee was modified into the first Snow Vee including the addition of caterpillar tracks a new rear compartment and a new engine This vehicle was designed for use in and just below the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic In 1992 AM General began selling a civilian version of the M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle HMMWV or Hum Vee vehicle to the public under the brand name Hummer In 1998 AM General sold the brand name to General Motors but continued to manufacture the vehicles GM was responsible for the marketing and distribution of all Hummers produced by AM General Shortly thereafter GM introduced two new homegrown models the H2 and H3 and renamed the original vehicle H1 AM General continued to build the H1 until it was discontinued in 2006 and was contracted by GM to produce the H2 The H3 was built in Shreveport LA alongside the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups with which it shares the GMT 355 platform custom modified and designated GMT 345 2006 Hummer lineup H3 H1 and H2 L R By 2006 the Hummer also began to be exported and sold through importers and distributors in 33 countries On October 10 2006 GM began producing the Hummer H3 at its Port Elizabeth plant in South Africa for international markets The Hummers built there at first were only left hand drive but right hand drive versions were added and exported to Australia and other markets The H2 is also assembled in Kaliningrad Russia by Avtotor starting in June 2004 The plant produces a few hundred vehicles annually and its output is limited to local consumption five dealers in Russia initially On June 3 2008 one day prior to GM s annual shareholder meeting Rick Wagoner GM s CEO at that time said the brand was being reviewed and had the possibility of either being sold having the production line completely redesigned or being discontinued This is due to the decreasing demand for large SUVs as a result of higher oil prices Almost immediately after the announcement a pair of Indian automakers including Mahindra Mahindra expressed interest in purchasing all or part of Hummer GM President Fritz Henderson stated several interested parties approached GM regarding the Hummer business On April 5 2009 Socit de Participation Financire Eidos Canada Inc made an unsolicited bid for Hummer Failed sale On June 1 2009 as a part of the General Motors bankruptcy announcement the company revealed that the Hummer brand would be discontinued However the following day GM announced that instead it had reached a deal to sell the brand to an undisclosed buyer After GM announced that same day that the sale was to an undisclosed Chinese company CNN and the New York Times identified the buyer of the Hummer truck unit as China based Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd Later that day Sichuan Tengzhong itself announced the deal on their own website On January 6 2010 GM CEO Ed Whitacre said he hopes to close the deal with Tengzhong by the end of January 2010 On 1 February 2010 it was announced that Sichuan and General Motors had agreed to extend the deadline till the end of February as Sichuan tried to get approval by the Chinese government It was also revealed that the price tag of the Hummer brand was 150 million On February 24 2010 the deal was rejected by the Chinese government and it was announced that the Hummer brand would soon shut down The company has announced they are willing to consider offers for all or part of the assets Models Customized

Raser Technologies of Utah wants to use technology similar to that in the Chevy Volt to make the Hummer a 100 MPG fuel sipper Details are unclear as Raser plans to debut the prototype on April 2023 at the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit But Raser is saying that using their E REV Extended Range Electric Vehicle powertrain technology the Hummer plug in hybrid will run up to 40 miles per day on its battery alone then a small 4 cylinder combustion engine will kick in to generate more electricity Hummer H3 Main article Hummer H3 The H3 is the smallest of the Hummer models and is based on the GMT355 platform shared with the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup trucks Off road abilities As of April 2009 Hummer is the only brand in the United States whose

flashlights bicycles shoes coats hats laptops clothing CD players and other items Starting in the early 1990s when AM General started selling to the civilian market Hummers began making appearances in the Film and Television industry Some earlier and noticeable appearances include seaQuest DSV which used the Hummer H1 in place of Humvees and Earth 2 which featured a large solar powered Hummer Concept truck as their main mode of conveyance More recently noticeable appearances include CSI Miami being driven by the chief of the crime lab Lt Horatio Caine played by David Caruso during the 6th

Facilities AM General Hummer H1 Assembly Plant Mishawaka Indiana 500 000 square foot plant opened 1984 to build HMVEE and began production of the Hummer H1 in 1992 AM General Hummer H2 Assembly Plant Mishawaka Indiana 673 000 square foot plant opened 2002 General Motors South Africa Struandale Assembly Plant Port Elizabeth East Cape South Africa built in 1996 expanded to 75 625 square metres in

Kaliningrad Russia licensed version of H2 starting 2008 Owner efforts Since all Hummer vehicles have heavy duty capabilities they have been employed by owners for aid in large disaster situations Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies HOPE was created by the efforts of The Hummer Club INC and the American Red Cross Together the two organizations train Hummer owners with CPR and First Aid skills and basic off highway skills so that they may assist victims during a disaster situation GM paid the Red Cross 4 million to participate in the organization Criticisms Criticism of Hummers includes the criticism of SUVs in general although at a higher degree Specific extra criticisms of Hummers include Size Hummers specifically the H1 and H2 are significantly bigger than other SUVs this can cause problems parking driving and fitting in a garage Their large size also potentially poses a serious threat to smaller vehicles Ecology Safety and ecological perceptions from other road users has attracted a lot of criticism The Hummer usually the H2 has been singled out and attacked sometimes using violent means as a symbol of ecological irresponsibility Poor fuel economy Even compared to other heavy passenger vehicles Hummers without the alternate Duramax V8 engine have very poor fuel economy Because the H2 is built to the over 8500 lb GVW class its fuel economy is neither published by the EPA nor counted toward Corporate Average Fuel Economy For instance H2 in one engine configuration averages about 14 mpg US 17 L 100 km 17 mpg imp on highways 10 mpg US 24 L 100 km 12 mpg imp in the city and has a curb weight of over 6 000 lb 2 700 kg making it technically illegal for use on some streets Safety Crash data for Hummers is less complete than for other SUVs Because of its weight it takes longer and further to stop in emergency braking situations As a Class 3 truck the Hummer is exempt from many DOT safety regulations The H1 lacks standard safety features including child safety locks child seat tethers side air bags and stability control Large blind spots make parking difficult and possibly dangerous See also Criticism of sport utility vehicles High Mobility
