All-new 2009 Hummer H3T - Powering into Middle East showrooms this November

Notes and media contacts

About Hummer:

Hummer is the youngest brand in General Motors' portfolio, and is the fruit of an agreement between the world's largest automaker and AM General in December 1999. The iconic HUMVEE is the original Hummer, the cornerstone of the brand. Its core values are still largely maintained in current Hummer line-up, the most capable line-up of off-road vehicles that don't compromise on luxury.

In the Middle East, Hummer's line-up consists of the H2 which reflected an evolution of the brand making Hummer more accessible to a wider civilian audience upon its launch in 2003; the midsize H3 that widened the brand's appeal to a an even broader range of owners.

Three years after its reveal as a concept car at the 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, the production-ready 2009 Hummer H3T is set to bring its unmistakable style and unmatched capability to the truck market. The H3T is based on the architecture of the popular H3, but features a five-passenger crew cab and a separate 1.5 meter bed. It also is infused with the attributes expected of a Hummer, including exceptional off-road capability and a premium interior that is as functional as it is comfortable.

At the 2008 North American International Autoshow, Hummer revealed the HX concept; its vision of an agile, trail-ready, open-air vehicle that fits the lifestyles of everyone who needs or wants to drive off road, in style.
