GMC Middle East has officially announced the arrival of the highly anticipated GMC HUMMER EV pickup truck and SUV to dealerships in the UAE and Kuwait. This groundbreaking launch marks the introduction of the world’s first all-electric supertruck, setting new standards for performance, capability, and innovation in the region's automotive market.
A New Era of All-Electric Power
The GMC HUMMER EV represents a monumental shift in GMC’s lineup, being the first electric addition to their collection of bold, capable, and premium trucks and SUVs. Designed to deliver remarkable on- and off-road capabilities, these vehicles are powered by an all-electric propulsion system that combines power, efficiency, and quiet operation.
Jack Uppal, President & Managing Director of General Motors, Africa & Middle East, expressed excitement about the launch: “Since we announced the GMC HUMMER EV, we’ve experienced an unprecedented response from the market. The arrival to the market is a milestone we have been impatiently waiting for. The GMC HUMMER EV represents the ultimate expression of GMC’s premium and capability.”
Unmatched Performance and Technology
The GMC HUMMER EV is equipped with advanced technology and features that redefine the driving experience:
- ULTIUM Battery Platform: Offering more than 540 km of range (GM estimate) on a full charge, the ULTIUM battery platform is at the heart of the GMC HUMMER EV’s impressive performance.
- Powerful Electric Motors: The vehicle boasts 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque (15,591 Nm), generated by three separate motors. This e4WD system ensures exceptional on- and off-road capabilities.
- Adaptive Air Suspension and Extract Mode: These features allow the suspension height to be raised by approximately 149 mm (6 inches), helping the GMC HUMMER EV navigate extreme off-road situations like sand dunes and rocky terrains.
- Terrain Mode and One-Pedal Driving: These modes provide precise control, with Terrain Mode integrating the brake system for off-roading, and One-Pedal Driving allowing the vehicle to slow to a stop by just releasing the accelerator.
- Regen on Demand: This feature enables the vehicle to slow down and regenerate energy back into the battery through a steering wheel-mounted paddle, enhancing its range capabilities.
- 4 Wheel Steer with CrabWalk: This industry-leading feature allows the rear and front wheels to steer at the same angle at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement for improved maneuverability on challenging terrain.
- Watts to Freedom: This driver-selectable experience unleashes the full acceleration capability of the EV propulsion system, achieving 0-100 km/h in approximately 3 seconds for the supertruck and 3.5 seconds for the SUV model.
Extreme Testing for Extreme Conditions
Before being available in the market, the GMC HUMMER EV underwent rigorous testing in the extreme hot temperatures and challenging off-road locations of the UAE, including the Liwa Desert, Maleiha Desert, and Wadi Shawka. These tests ensured that the vehicle could handle the demanding conditions of the Middle East, making it a perfect fit for the region’s off-roading enthusiasts.
