Hummer looking towards greener future



Hummer is on the brink of being sold to the Chinese manufacturer Tengzhong but if/when they are sold, what well become of the company?

Well, in a recent interview done by The Detruoit Bereau, Hummer brand manager Jim Taylor said the following:

“We need to head towards CAFE compliance – which means smaller and more fuel efficient, or we’re dialed out. Think of the smaller H4 we were showing at the auto show and it could safely conjectured we would enter into that space.”

That’s not all though as he then went on to say that a fully electric or hybrid vehicle is definitly something Hummer will be looking towards for a future model. And, when question how long until Hummer fulfills these tasks Taylor said: “I think five years out, excellent, assured. It’s 100%.”

Let’s hope what Mr. Taylor says is true as Hummer definitly needs an all electric or hybrid vehicle that will make up for the gas guzzling models they have become known for.
