Hummer – An Off Road Vehicle
Posted by in Hummer on July 26, 2011
Hummer is an off-road vehicle produced by General Motors and was founded in 1995 with its headquarters located in Detroit, Michigan. Hummer has three different models coming off the production line each year. They are the H1, H2 and the H3. The H1 is a modified version of the Humvee, the vehicle used by the military also known as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). Hummer introduced the H2 and H3 as smaller civilian market versions of the H1.
Humvees are designed to drive off-road through difficult terrain and became more familiar when the United States military used them in Operation: Desert Storm in 1991. In previous wars that the United States was involved in the military would use Jeeps to move their war generals and other members of the troops around from location to location. The Humvee was designed to navigate rough terrain and also had some armor placed on it specially for the military. After the H2 and the H3 were introduced by Hummer, they renamed the original vehicle, used by the military as the H1. The H1 is also available on the auto market today for civilian purchase but is not as popular as the other two models.
Hummer did not go international until 2006 when they decided to use select importers and distributors in Europe and some other markets. The H3 is produced in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. There are 300 Hummer dealers in 34 countries, with 173 of those dealers located within the United States. Read the rest of this entry »
Hummer Limos – The Ultimate Luxury Personified
Posted by in Hummer on July 26, 2011
Hummer or better known as “Humvee” is an iconic machine in the United States and the world over. First developed for the United States Marine Corps, it is now a civilian favorite. Durable and powerful it is known for its spacious interiors and all terrain drivability. Today Hummer is now also among the most preferred vehicle for transition into Limousines.
A stretch hummer is a conversion of the ever-popular-gas-guzzler Hummer H2. Double the original H2 vehicle length they ride on an extra long wheel base, which is about as far as the manufacturers can go because of federal restrictions on lengthening the hummer more than twice its original model length.
These days the latest editions of Hummer limos are also based on the late model Hummer H3. The original H1 models are only converted into limousines on exception or interest, sometimes as novelty.
Most people choose hummer as it sets style that is distinctive. A stretched hummer can accommodate around 10 to 15 people with ease, and will also have room to spare. As hummer limousines are more powerful and heavier, you get more comfortable and stable ride than other smaller “car-based” limousines.
Unlike most other smaller limousines hummer limos are known for their spacious interiors, which can be designed more extravagantly. Most party aficionados choose hummer limos as it provides them more room for fun and frolic, while other limos could feel a little more cramped.
In most limos a bar with drinks is fairly common and standard, but Hummer limos can accommodate a larger one. Polished counters and neon lights are a common attraction and even sink with running water. Other amenities include Hi-fi audio and video systems, satellite radio, video game consoles and more, all these should keep your gang entertained until you reach your destination.
