FOX 2 - GMC unveiled the rebirth of the Hummer, with an all-new completley electric truck model Tuesday.

Initial production begins in late 2021, at GM’s Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center14 - a nearly 40-year-old facility repurposed and retooled with a $2.2-billion investment devoted to electric vehicle production. Future production vehicles out of the factory will offer zero emissions.

The GMC HUMMER EV is driven by next-generation EV propulsion technology that enables unprecedented off-road capability, extraordinary on-road performance and an immersive driving experience.

Reservations are being accepted for its new supertruck, the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV, which launches with initial production fall of next year in the unique Edition 1 trim.

“The GMC Hummer EV is revolutionary, defying what the industry thinks of as a pickup truck,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “The Edition 1’s tailored off-road content will make HUMMER EV’s unprecedented capability and zero-emissions a very special proposition for customers.”

The GMC HUMMER EV Edition 1 will have a white exterior and a unique Lunar Horizon interior, with special “Edition 1” interior badging.

OFF-ROADING

Extreme Off-Road Package includes 18-inch wheels, 35-inch-OD Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, underbody armor, rock sliders, underbody cameras2 - as a part of a best-in-class number of available camera views - and more
Adaptive Air Suspension with available segment-leading Extract Mode3 capability
