Hummer | featured news

General Motors says it will proceed with the shutdown of the HUMMER brand, but TheCarConnection has confirmed that an American company has twice expressed interest in a HUMMER deal--both before and after a failed bid from a Chinese company.

GM is looking at two offers for its Hummer brand after a deal to sell the line of sport utility vehicles to a Chinese manufacturer collapsed this week.

The automaker says it's unable to complete a deal to sell its SUV brand to a Chinese industrial company. It plans to wind down Hummer operations, which would affect about 3,000 workers.

GM completed an agreement to sell Hummer to China's Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery.

General Motors Corp said it had reached a preliminary deal to sell its Hummer brand, part of its effort to shed half of its eight U.S. lines and leave bankruptcy court protection as a leaner company.
