Hummer has re-enlisted in the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n
The military branch has purchased a GMC Hummer EV pickup for evaluation.<\/p>\n
The vehicle will be a top of the line Hummer EV Edition 1, which has a list price of $112,595. The exact amount paid by the Army was not announced, but it will be delivered by the end of August.<\/p>\n
The tests will be used to better understand how a commercial electric like the Hummer EV pickup can perform on a military operational mission profile as it looks to develop a future electric light reconnaissance vehicle (eLRV), Steve Herrick, product director, Ground Mobility Vehicles, U.S. Army Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support told Fox News Autos.<\/p>\n

\n The original Humvee was an unarmored, multipurpose vehicle that has been upgraded in several stages since it went into service in 1984.
\n (AM General)<\/p>\n
The Hummer brand was originally spawned by the commercialization of the military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, which was nicknamed the Humvee after entering service in 1984.<\/p>\n
The U.S. military is in the process of replacing the aging Humvee fleet with a variety of vehicles, including a proposed Joint Light Tactical Vehicle that GM Defense is competing for.<\/p>\n
GM Defense in 2020 began supplying the Army with an Infantry Squad Vehicle based off of the high-performance Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 pickup. <\/p>\n
