What is a Hummer?
1 Answers
Hummer is an automobile brand produced by the American company General Motors (GM), primarily manufacturing military vehicles and off-road vehicles. The founder of GM, Ute, was a bicycle manufacturer who established the Off-Road Vehicle Division in 1903. More details are as follows: 1. In 1908, John Willys purchased the Off-Road Vehicle Division and founded Willys-Overland Motors in 1912, producing the Willys-Knight cars. 2. Most off-road vehicles use drum brakes on the rear wheels, making it difficult to control the vehicle when reversing downhill. However, the Hummer employs a semi-floating axle with built-in four-wheel disc brakes, which are highly effective whether reversing downhill or moving forward. Therefore, four-wheel disc brakes are irreplaceable off-road equipment.
