1 Answers
In the future, the U.S. Army's long-used Humvee off-road vehicles will be replaced by a new light tactical vehicle, the JLTV. This means the Hummer is likely to become a thing of the past. The new model has shown impressive performance. Introduction to the Hummer: The Hummer is a brand that evokes awe. Behind its outstanding off-road capabilities lies the reality of battlefield carnage. The Hummer's prototype was actually a military vehicle named HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle), which earned the nickname "Humvee" from the U.S. military. Powertrain: The Humvee was a product of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Initially, it was equipped with a 6.2L naturally aspirated diesel engine, producing a maximum power of just 150 horsepower, paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission.
