When it comes to the word Hummer, I believe that many people will have an image of a tough guy in their minds, with an angular body and domineering and tough lines, and the Hummer has even become a symbol of American culture for a while. In many American blockbusters, the Hummer is the exclusive car of American GIs, and in real life, the Hummer is also sought after by many muscular tough guys, such as boxing champion Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc., all of whom are die-hard fans of Hummer H1.
The Hummer car brand, born in 1903, was originally an exclusive off-road brand under AMG (AM General) and is now owned by the GM Group.
In the 70s of the 20th century, the US side hoped to find a multi-purpose vehicle with high mobility to replace the old Willys in the army, and they hoped that this car could not only carry people, but also pull goods, and could also adapt to various road conditions.
In order to obtain this order, after a long period of research and development testing, in the early 80s, AMG company built 12 HMMWVs for the United States to test, after a severe desert environment comprehensive testing, finally won the United States ** worth $1 billion of orders, after thousands of miles of testing, AM officially delivered the first batch of Humvees to the US military in 1983.
Subsequently, in the "Desert Storm" operation and the Somalia-Bosnia and Herzegovina peacekeeping operation, HMMWV's outstanding performance conquered everyone, and then in the "Gulf War", more than 20,000 HMMWVs of more than 30 models (including ambulances, personnel carriers, anti-tank missile vehicles, etc.) helped the US military complete one impossible task after another.
On Thanksgiving Day in 1990, Bush took a Hummer to the U.S. team, and since then, the Hummer has not used any advertising and propaganda at all, which has made many military fans, car fans, off-road fans, and collectors dream.
In February 1991, after the end of the Gulf War, the business-minded AMG company saw the promise of HMMWV and announced that it would consider launching a civilian version of HMMWV. Sure enough, a year later, the civilian version of the HMMWV went on sale, AMG officially named its model Hummer (Hummer), and the first civilian Hummer was also named Hummer H1.
The famous Hollywood movie star Schwarzenegger became the first private owner of a Hummer H1, and his car was also imprinted"Terminator"Words. In addition to this, he ordered the first batch of 100 civilian Humvee H1s, which were quickly snapped up by his friends, and it became fashionable to drive military vehicles to work at that time. Schwarzenegger's hobbies have influenced other celebrities.
The charm of the Hummer is not only in its appearance and performance, but also in its strong off-road performance and high level of safety.
The HAMM H1 is very powerful off-road and can operate safely in harsh environments. It is equipped with 6The 5-litre turbocharged diesel engine features a sealed ** regulator and a high-load multi-cooling system that allows it to operate safely in harsh conditions.
However, with the rise in oil prices, the outbreak of the financial crisis, and the shift in social value orientation, the sales of Hummers fell sharply. GM had to consider the Hummer brand and eventually declared bankruptcy. However, although the Hummer has withdrawn from the car market, the **instead** of the Hummer in the market has become a collector's item.
According to the data, the Hummer H1 began mass production in 1992 until the announcement of production in 2006, and AM GM and GM produced a total of nearly 12,000 units.
