Hummer Limo Hire

If you didn’t know, you might not realise that the tough and fearless Hummers are actually descended from the army issue vehicles, the Hummvees. While the Hummers are big, square and tough, they have been softened around the edges, been made a little more fuel efficient and had quite a few more comfortable extras added since they moved from being popular with Arnold Schwarzenegger, to being the number one choice of soccer mums.

Well the next big ‘big thing’ is coming from the British defence company BAE, after a request from the US military was made for a replacement to the Hummer H1. The BAE’s new vehicle is still in the working concept stage and is just one of the competitors in the race to win the contract to supply the US army with a new ‘Joint Light Tactical Vehicle’.

Where the Humvee, and the Hummer after it, was high, square and tough, baring its grille and mowing down any in its path, the BAE’s tough concept vehicle is filling these shoes nicely. The vehicle weight just under seven tonnes, has one inch thick armoured composite walls and the armour and the power train can be removed and replaced if some quick roadside mechanic work is required.

Powered by a Navistar diesel engine and operating with four wheel drive of course, the ride height can even be adjusted to two feet! So while you are making yourself comfortable in your luxurious stretched Hummer limousine, remember that it was once trawling the bleak desserts and transporting weary soldiers to do their duty, and that while the Hummer may have been softened and commercialised, if you are waiting for the next big guy, Britain may be the ones who will provide it; to the US army no less.
