Detroit 2008: HUMMER HX Concept
Almost since the launch of the HUMMER H2 in 2003, the brand has been the whipping boy of environmentalists everywhere and the hero of global warming deniers. As a company that has a fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders to try and make a profit, General Motors is trying to expand the brand's appeal by greening it's image. Welcome to the first step in the transition to making HUMMER a little less of a pariah to the Sierra Club: the HUMMER HX Concept.
During the preview of the HX at the GM design studios in Warren MI, it was made clear that over the next three years all HUMMERs would be updated to make them capable of running on biofuels (see this previous post). The first to appear publicly is this new concept which may turn up at HUMMER dealerships in a couple of years. The HX is powered by a new flex-fuel variant of the corporate 3.6L DOHC V-6 now used in a wide range of GM vehicles. Read on after the jump to learn more about the HX
