When dealers around the country and around the world received the message that a “wind down” of the HUMMER brand was imminent, most were trying to decide what to do with the cash buyouts from GM and what to do with their remaining inventory and expensive, unique facilities. We know of at least one HUMMER [...]

Around 9AM Tuesday, the last HUMMERs rolled of the line in Shreveport, Louisiana – the site that has produced all HUMMER H3s and H3Ts cruising around the United States today. The final trucks were part of the special fleet order that brought the plant back online to produce an additional 850 units. We still haven’t [...]

You may remember Ratchet – the HUMMER H2 turned movie prop from Transformers named Ratchet. In China, similarly equipped vehicles may be used as real-life emergency vehicles. That is, if they can find the trucks… These shots were taken at the China International Exhibition on Police Equipment, where several HUMMER H3s and H2s were outfitted [...]

General Motors and the NHSTA announced today a recall of every H3 and H3T between the model years 2006 and 2010 (that’s all of ‘em, folks!) because the small, black, decorate hood louver could become loose over time and become detached during operation. If you’ve ever worked with the piece, you know it’s held on [...]

The Ohio National Guard has teamed up with CNG-Ohio to convert a HUMMER H2 into a natural gas fueled vehicle. The joint venture chose natural gas due to its abundance and limited pollutants – with the end goal of being less depended on foreign oil if the idea catches on. With so many alternative fueled [...]

Curious what Raser Technologies may have had in mind for the HUMMER brand and how the vehicles may perform off-road? Check out this video from the 2010 Easter Jeep Safari Run when the crew from Raser took out their 100 MPG electric H3 with virtually zero emissions out on the rocks.

No matter what happens with HUMMER, there will still be passionate owners that love to experience the outdoors and wheel their trucks. A month from now, The HUMMER Club will be holding an off-road event in Harlan County, Kentucky. The event will run Thursday, May 13th to Saturday, May 15th. Registration is up on THCI’s [...]

Illinois Senator Roland Burris will investigate General Motors’s handling of HUMMER this week following reports that GM had left viable bids on the table. Late Monday, a member of Burris’s staff confirmed to HummerGuy.net that the Senator planned to look into the matter this week. Senator Burris wasn’t able to attend the Save HUMMER Summit [...]

General Motors announced to its HUMMER dealers on April 6th that their search for a company to take over the brand was unsuccessful and a wind-down of HUMMER operations would soon begin. That news isn’t slowing down an attempt to save the HUMMER brand in Chicago on Sunday for the “Save HUMMER Motors in America [...]

In a time of deep economic recession it would only be responsible for our elected officials to do everything in their power to preserve American jobs. Combined, the U.S. Treasury and the U.A.W. own 77.5% of General Motors (60% and 17.5%, respectively), who’s corporate leadership failed to complete a deal with the Chinese under bizarre [...]

General Motors reportedly had two credible offers from American company Raser Technologies to purchase the HUMMER brand prior to its decision to shut down the brand completely.
