The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled
Vehicle (HMMWV) was designed for use as a military transport vehicle
and was made famous during the Gulf War. An original design
requirement was a 12 year life span under combat conditions. It
became available to the public in 1992 and was known as the HUMMER
H1, with production running until the 2006 model year with the ALPHA
H1. The H1 is able to cross streams 3 feet deep, Climb a 22 inch
vertical wall, Navigate a 60% grade, Traverse a 40% side slope, all
fully loaded with 2,500lbs. The H1 is the ultimate off-road vehicle
and is the backbone of the HUMMER line. Without it we would not have
the HUMMER’s we enjoy today which are truly Like Nothing Else!
