GM to End Production of the Hummer H1

Wave good bye to the Hummer H1. Since 1992 General Motors has been selling this urban assault vehicle to the public but the end has finally come. Friday GM disclosed that the production of the H1 will cease after sell 12,000 copies of the vehicle since 1992. GM expects the last H1s to built next month.

General Motors said that rising gas prices and criticism from environmentalists did not influence the decision. Last year, GM sold 374 H1s, down 16 percent from 447 in 2004. “It’s a reflection of where we’re going with the Hummer brand” Hummer general manager Martin Walsh said of the decision. “The Hummer DNA still resides in the Humvee. … It will always be the core from where we come.”
