H2 & H3 Hummer
The H2 is built under
contract by AM General at a specially constructed
plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, USA. Although
it shares GM's GMT820 truck platform with
the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, those vehicles
differ in many ways and are constructed in
three other GM plants. The H2's final frame
assembly is made up of 3 sections: The front
uses a modified GM 2500-Series utility frame,
the mid-section is all new and is completely
boxed, and the rear section uses a modifed
GM 1500-Series frame which is upgraded for
the 8000 pound gross vehicle weight.
The Hummer H3 is a vehicle
from General Motors' Hummer brand, introduced
in 2005. The H3 is the smallest of the three
Hummer models, and though the H3 concept car
was a pickup truck, the final vehicle is a
conventional SUV. Its GMT345 platform is based
on the GMT355 which underpins the Chevrolet
Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks.
The
H3 is built at GM's Shreveport, Louisiana
factory. Export versions will also be produced
at a GM facility in Struandale, Port Elizabeth,
South Africa.
In
the American market, the H3 is priced from
$29,500 to just under $40,000. Sales have
been strong, with the 33,140 sold in 2005
making up 58% of Hummer's total sales for
the year. For the first two months of 2006,
8,071 H3s were sold, 74% of all Hummer sales.
