I heard on the news that GM has sold the Hummer brand to a Chinese company.
Will this effect the humvee being used by the US military, or is this a completely unrelated vehicle?
I know that they were both originally designed by GM and that the civilian Hummer is modeled on the military one, but surely they would not be allowed to sell anything to do with a military vehicle to China? Would they?|||Actually GM doesn't build the military Humvee, nor did it design the Humvee. The company AM General did. AM General designed the Humvee in 1984. They sold the rights to sell a civilian style Humvee (Hummer brand) to GM in 1998 (after building Hummers of their own since 1992). The deal will have nothing to do with the military Humvee due to AM General owning the exclusive rights to the military Humvee, not GM|||The US Military is already in the bidding process for a new vehicle to replace the HUMVEE.

The sale to China will not affect the current supply of Military vehicles. Only the Commercial Hummer H1 is even remotely similar to the Military version, At over $100K it is not a big seller,
The H2 and H3 versions commonly seen on the street are based on the same chassis as other GM vehicles, Suburban and Trailblazer. Just a different body. Nothing special about them at all.|||not being funny but don't you think that if china wanted to create a vehicle like a hummer they could.
its not like anything would stop the chinese military making a hummer nock off. lol
