The original civilian Hummer went on sale in 1992 and traces its origins back to the military’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, or Humvee. While the everyday version was known as a gas-guzzling behemoth, the military Humvee handily, if not comfortably, transported troops and cargo all over the world. As the automotive world goes electric, including the Hummer EV, so has the military version of this road warrior.

General Motors Defense unveiled the all-new Electric Military Concept Vehicle (EMCV), a stripped-down electric GMC Hummer EV with new modifications specifically for the U.S. Army. The vehicle looks distinctly military with its olive-green paint, but underneath boasts the same chassis and EV propulsion system as the Hummer EV. It has three electric motors that provide a combined 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque. The battery is a double-stacked 205 kWh lithium battery pack, which allows this massive vehicle to go up to 300 miles on a full charge. It also has a 12-kW diesel-powered generator for limited charging.

While the interior of the Hummer EV is luxurious and comfortable, the military concept lacks such refinement. The driver and five passengers are protected by a tubular roll cage and seatbelts. Instead of a standard air suspension system, the EMCV has Fox performance shocks. There’s a heavy-duty braking system, and improved approach and departure angles for enhanced off-road capability. On the exterior, there are 37-inch tires, a 46-inch gun ring and a swing side-arm mount.

This is a vehicle clearly meant for military purposes and not civilian life, so it’s unlikely it will make its way to personal driveways. The EMCV has been under development for almost two years but remains in the concept stage, built for the Army’s Electric Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (eLRV) program. It will be exciting to see how and when the military chooses to utilize this new, silent, mighty machine.
