Hummer H1 Alpha Concept Review

Hummer H1 is a civilian vehicle based on the high-mobility multipurpose vehicle (HMMWV), popularly known as the Humvee, which was created by AM General.

History

Originally published 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 the regulation of production in June 2006, thanks to new emission laws for diesel vehicles, which will take effect in 2007. No version of the Hummer H1 ever produced would meet the new standards. AM General currently has orders for an excess of 50 000 new HMMWV be produced between 2006-2009 for the U.S. military. General'm also continue to produce the H1, but not the Alpha. These vehicles will be sold through the sale of the fleet. The next H1 will most likely be an enhanced version of the 6.5L Turbo diesel engine before, but it has not been confirmed.
