2001 Hummer H1 4-wheel-drive utility vehicle based on military Humvee

The Hummer H1 is a four-wheel-drive utility vehicle based on the M998 Humvee, which was created by AM General. The vehicle was produced from 1992 through 2006 and was the first of what became the Hummer line. Originally designed strictly for military use, the off-road vehicle was released to the civilian market due to market demand.

The vehicle was initially known as the "Hummer"; however, under a 1999 deal, GM bought marketing rights to the Hummer name and called it the Hummer H1.

Originally released in the civilian market March 14, 1992, the Hummer H1 became known from photographs published during Operation Desert Storm and the enthusiastic promotion by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
