The new technology of electric Hummer can realize four-wheel steering.

Hummer series models have influenced many people's understanding of cars with their wild appearance, but strict emission regulations have made such large-displacement models gradually decline. Despite this, GM still hopes to revive the brand. Therefore, the company has submitted a trademark application for Hummer EV badge to the US Patent and Trademark Office. At the same time, GM also released a preview video showing GMC? Hummer? EV will make its world debut on 10 10/20. In addition, the video also shows Hummer? EV will have the function of diagonal steering, that is, four-wheel steering.

It is understood that the trademark registration of Hummer EV badge is still in progress, and it will take several months to get the official authorization from the US Patent and Trademark Office. It is clearly stated in the application documents that the badge will be used for "motor vehicles, bicycles and land mobile equipment". Therefore, after the successful registration of the trademark, it may appear on adjacent commodities, such as joint bicycles, in addition to the upcoming models. In other words, if nothing happens, GM will launch Hummer pure electric pickup truck models and SUV models, and use this logo.

This four-wheel turn worth mentioning is very interesting. As can be seen from the video screenshot, Hummer? EV central control screen with crab label, Hummer, of course? In fact, the diagonal steering function of EV does not translate laterally like a crab, but uses four wheels to achieve a smaller turning radius, which will be very useful in off-road driving.

According to the previous announcement, Hummer EV will be divided into two models, namely pickup truck model and SUV model. Among them, the pickup truck model will adopt a four-door body design with a rear cargo compartment at the tail, and the overall shape will be more square. The SUV model is similar to the pickup truck model in appearance, which can be simply understood as adding a roof to the rear cargo compartment and hanging an external rear spare tire at the rear. Both models inherited the hard-core off-road style of the old Hummer.

The old Hummer is famous for its power and off-road ability, and this time the Hummer electric car version should continue this tradition. It is reported that the new car will have three power systems: single motor, double motor and three motor. The three-motor version officially claims that the maximum power can reach more than 1000 horsepower, and the acceleration time of 0-96km/h can reach 3 seconds.
