Hummers Going Green from Hummer H1 to H4
June 4th, 2008 | by admin |One of the biggest complaints that the average person has about the Hummer is that it’s not an earth-friendly vehicle. That may have been true for the Hummer H1 but it’s not going to be the case for the Hummer H4. New hummers are going to operate off of diesel or ethanol blends in order to reduce the devastating impact that these vehicles can have on the earth.
Drawbacks of the Hummer
The Hummer is a great vehicle which has a lot of fans. However, many people have expressed disgust for Hummers because of the fact that these vehicles are so fuel inefficient. The complaint is that we as Americans should be doing our part to save the Earth and not putting our money into things like air-polluting Hummers.
New Hummers Will be Green
In order to combat this one major complaint about Hummers, the company has announced that the Hummer H4 is going to be a green vehicle. The average fuel efficiency of these new Hummers will rise from 25 mpg to 35 mpg in order to meet new regulations that are taking place in Congress.
Since the Hummer H1
A Hummer like the Hummer H4 that may end up getting 35 mpg is significantly different from the Hummer H1 that was first released to the market. The Hummer H1 got less than 15 mpg and was often cited as being 10 mpg in the city. Compared to that, the Hummer H4 really is a green car.
The Hummer H4 as Green
The Hummer H4 is still behind the times in terms of fuel efficiency as compared to leading small hybrid cars. However, the new Hummers are a step in the right direction for allowing people to own the Hummer they want while doing less damage.
