For those who wonder about the history and parentage of Hummer trucks and SUVs, here's the answer.
Well, Hummer makes Hummer, right? Not quite—the name and brand have had a few parents over the years, so let's clarify who makes Hummer by walking through each iteration of its vehicles, starting with the military rig that started it all, the Humvee. Ultimately, two companies have been involved with making the Hummer: AM General Corporation and General Motors .The short answer is no. However, the company that first made the Hummer, the AM General Corporation, does have Jeep in its ancestry.
1908: John Willys purchases Overland Automotive Division of Standard Wheel Company; renames it Willys-Overland Motor Company 1953: Kaiser-Frazer purchases Willys-Overland Motors, one of two high-volume builders of the original World War II Jeep 1964: Studebaker sells its general and military automotive operations to Kaiser-Jeep Corporation
1964: Kaiser-Jeep Corporation moves military and specialty vehicles manufacturing operations to South Bend, Indiana, organized under General Products Division1971: American Motors renames subsidiary as AM General Corporation2020: KPS Capital Partners acquires AM GeneralAM General began developing its M998 Series High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle in 1979. In 1983, it was awarded an initial Army contract to produce 55,000 Humvees over a five-year period.
Here's where General Motors comes in. GM bought the marketing and distribution rights to the Hummer brand in 1999, and the single model available at that point became known as the Hummer H1. However, its assembly, parts maintenance, training, and warranty support were still the responsibility of AM General. Model years forwere 1992-2006, although it skipped 2005. Over the years, the Hummer H1 was powered by a slew of diesel V-8s and a 5.
