The Hummer hasn't run out of gas just yet.



GM, winding down the military-style vehicle after a deal to sell it failed, said it's resuming production of the Hummer H3 and H3T models for about a month to fill a large fleet order.



GM halted production of Hummers in January while it attempted unsuccessfully to complete a sale of the division to Sichuan Tengzhong of China. Last month, GM said it would close Hummer after Sichuan failed to win Chinese regulatory approval for the deal.



GM has said it would consider alternatives for the business during the wind-down. The automaker has received interest from several parties, people briefed on the matter said after the sale fell through late last month.



The company said in December it would shut Saab, only to revive talks and reach a takeover deal with Spyker.



Saturn and Pontiac also are being phased out and GM's focus is now on the Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick divisions.



The government pumped in some $50 billion to assist the automaker's journey through bankruptcy protection from lenders. In return, it has a 61% stake in the new GM.

Yes,I have read about it in newspaper around one week ago. They said that they will start to produce Hummer H3 in Shreveport,LA again during one month period start mid of April! GM have got commercial order for about 850 Hummers H3! During this period of time we will hope that they will find somebody serious about this to buy Hummer brand! If I have enough money I will buy whole Hummer brand and keep producing all models(Restart H1 and start to produce HX or H4)!

Actually, GM has nothing to do with the manufacture of the H1.

They had an agreement with AM General (the manufacturer) for the marketing and sales of the civilian H1 Hummer.

The vehicle is still being manufactured in its military and industrial version only.

But right now AM General cannot produce H1 on its own because GM bought rights from them, as I know. Too bad that GM sacrifice Hummer and doesn't let AM General to produce it! May be AM can manufacture Hummer,but,unfortunately,cannot sell it.
