But the smaller, electric Hummer, according to someone with knowledge of the situation, is still only a design study in GM’s California studio, although it\u2019s considered a priority and has a decent chance of entering production. The story was first reported by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing a midsize Hummer EV pickup to market makes sense given Hummer\u2019s strong brand recognition. And its smaller size could be part of a strategy that sees GM return to the European market, according to the report. GM left Europe in 2017, selling its Vauxhall and Opel brands to PSA Group<\/a><\/strong> after 20 years of losses. The brands are now owned by Stellantis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GM currently builds the full-size GMC Hummer EV SUT, with the GMC Hummer EV SUV entering production next year. It’s just one element of General Motors’ $35 billion electric car strategy, which involves bringing 30 vehicles to market by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The current\u00a0GMC Hummer EV pickup<\/a><\/strong>, which weighs about 9,000 pounds, was the first vehicle to use GM’s new generation of Ultium lithium-ion batteries<\/a><\/strong>. These cells were created to be utilized in one of four skateboard platforms GM built for its array of battery-electric vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hummer EV pickup generates 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque through all four wheels. It\u2019s available with all-wheel steering, allowing it to crab-walk on trails, and comes with an adaptive suspension. GM estimates its range at 329 miles, and a 0-60 mph time of roughly three seconds. Payload is rated at 1,300 pounds, while towing capability is 7,500 pounds. Uniquely, it\u2019s designed with removable roof panels. Prices start at $112,595.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through the first three quarters of 2022, GM has built 781 Hummer EV Pickups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the\u00a0U.S. Army has requested GM Defense send it Hummer EVs for evaluation<\/a><\/strong>, ironic given the Hummer brand was a spinoff of AM General\u2019s Humvee, which was created for military use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By reviving GM the dormant nameplate as an EV brand, GM is hoping to reverse Hummer’s negative connotation, one formed over a decade of GM ownership after it bought from AM General in 1999. GM discontinued Hummer and its line of hulking trucks and SUVs in 2010 when the company emerged from bankruptcy. Hummer was brought back in 2021 as a premium electric off-road sub-brand of GMC, allowing GM to sell luxury off-road vehicles with Cadillac-level price tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After launching the GMC Hummer SUT in 2022, GM followed with the\u00a0Cadillac Lyriq<\/a><\/strong>, an all-electric SUV that\u2019s now in production. It will be followed by the\u00a0GMC Hummer SUV<\/a><\/strong>, the\u00a0Chevrolet Silverado EV<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0GMC Sierra EV<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Chevrolet Blazer EV<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Chevrolet Equinox EV<\/a><\/strong>. All are built using GM\u2019s Ultium battery architecture. In addition, GM already offers the\u00a0Chevrolet Bolt EV<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0EUV<\/a><\/strong>, which use another older battery technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, GMC was the logical choice for initiating GM\u2019s electric vehicle portfolio, as the company offered battery electric trucks as well as gas-powered models when GMC was first established in 1912. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A midsize Hummer pickup could be in the works, and TheDetroitBureau.com has the details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13752,"featured_media":233599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,8,5,10,3185,2648,9],"tags":[2212,8312,8314,1743,8313],"make":[],"post-state":[],"category_old":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233596"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13752"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233596"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233630,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233596\/revisions\/233630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233596"},{"taxonomy":"make","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/make?post=233596"},{"taxonomy":"post-state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post-state?post=233596"},{"taxonomy":"category_old","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category_old?post=233596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Part of a growing portfolio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
