GM Defense to provide Hummer EV to U.S. Army

GM Defense, a subsidiary of General Motors, was selected by the U.S. Army to provide a battery electric vehicle for analysis and demonstration. GM Defense will leverage the GMC Hummer EV, featuring GM’s Ultium Platform, to meet the U.S. Army’s requirement for a light- to heavy-duty battery electric vehicle to support reduced reliance on fossil fuels both in the operational and garrison environments, the company says.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup features a 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery pack and zero-tailpipe emissions, the company says. The vehicle features 1,000 HP, 11,500 lb.-ft. of wheel torque and is capable of full 350 kilowatt/800-volt DC fast charging, enabling up to nearly 100 miles in 12 minutes. The GMC Hummer EV Pickup offers 329 miles of combined driving range for Edition 1, with 0-60 MPH acceleration times as quick as 3 seconds, GM says.
