The 1980's gave way for the evolution of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle or HMMWV or the HUMVEE. It was such a powerful vehicle that it became a part of the United States Army. It could go through any terrain, whether hilly, desert, or just anywhere. It became a part of many operations of the United States Army in different parts of the world.
The vehicle had good off road capabilities. It had great power and could traverse through any terrain easily. This made it a good Sport Utility Vehicle. The production of the Humvee was with the AM General.
It was in 1992 that the AM general released a civilian version of the Humvee in the market. They called this The HUMMER. It is said that it was the Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger who asked AM General to make this civilian version of the Humvee after he happened to drive one of them during his movie Kindergarten Cop in 1990. It could be imagined as a Humvee without armours or weapons. This Hummer was the first of what became the Hummer line. Many variations of the vehicle came to the market in the following years. Perhaps the General Motors announced that 2006 would be the last model year for the Hummer H1, with its production winding down in June 2006 due to a new emission law for Diesel engine vehicles which takes effect in 2007.
Features
The Hummer h1 is available in three different models: a convertible-like soft top, a four-door hard top pickup truck and a Wagon body version. There are also some other versions like the two-door pickup truck and a four-door slantback, but they are very less known.
