Hummer

Hummer is a brand of large off-road vehicles (H1) or sport utility vehicles (SUVs) (H2, H3,) sold by General Motors, also known as GM. The H1 version is based on the military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, or Humvee). The Hummer is one of the larger 4x4 types, with commensurate high fuel consumption.[1] In most countries, a hummer is considered to be a truck, rather than a regular SUV as it does not meet environmental protection standards.[citation needed] In some countries, including New Zealand and Australia, a truck license is needed in order to operate some of the heavier models of Hummer.
