DETROIT – HUMMER has announced a major milestone with the sale of its100,000 th H2 today. Since the H2’s launch in 2002, HUMMER has grown its model portfolio to include the H1 Alpha, H2 SUT and H3, and has expanded its dealer network to 167 dealer points. “The sale of the 100,000 th H2 is symbolic of its success in the marketplace,” said Susan Docherty, HUMMER general manager. “This milestone represents the H2’s ability to attract new customers to the brand by showcasing its unique combination of off-road capability and refined styling.”
The HUMMER H2 was introduced as a concept in January 2000 at the North American International Auto Show and officially went on sale July 10, 2002, with the ringing of the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
The H2 made its debut as the more “civilized” HUMMER, adding creature comforts and premium amenities while maintaining the brand’s off-road leadership. These capabilities include fording 20 inches of water, climbing 16-inch steps and rocks and maneuvering through sand.
The H2 lineup has recently expanded to include a limited edition “Pacific Blue” H2. The special edition comes in SUV and SUT versions and includes all the standard features of the H2, plus a unique Pacific Blue exterior paint and an up-level premium appearance package. In addition, the special edition has a heated windshield wiper system with warm fluid that removes snow, ice and debris and a rear-seat DVD system with dual headrest-mounted viewing screens and wireless headphones.
HUMMER is a division of General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM), the world’s largest vehicle manufacturer, which employs about 325,000 people globally. The HUMMER H1 and H2 are built by AM General in Mishawaka, Indiana by United Auto Workers Local 5, the oldest UAW local union in the country. The H3 is built in Shreveport, Louisiana by UAW Local 2166.
