hummer is a brand of off-road vehicles currently owned by Sichuan Tengzhong after it was sold by its earlier owners General Motors. Although the original Hummer H1 was based on the military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, or Humvee). and was created under a contract for the United States of America the subsequent Hummer H2 and the Hummer H3 were based on other, smaller civilian-market vehicles. AM General began selling these latter two civilian versions of the M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Hum-Vee) vehicle to the public. Since 2006, the Hummer is also being exported and sold through importers and distributors in 33 countries.

In 2006, GM began producing the Hummer H3 at its Port Elizabeth plant in South Africa for international markets. Initially thought they were only left-hand drive, but right-hand drive versions were added and exported to Australia and other markets. The Hummer H2 is the second vehicle in the Hummer range. There are two models available: H2 SUV and H2 SUT. The H3 is the smallest of the Hummer models and is based on the GMT355 platform shared with the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup trucks. It is the only brand in the United States with a low-range transfer case, relatively high-ground clearance, and off-road tires.
