HUMMER Provides Update On H3, H3T, Introduces Biofuel Capability
As part of a strategic initiative towards offering a biofuel powertrain in all body styles by 2010
HUMMER has announced updates to the 2010 HUMMER H3 and H3T midsize all-terrain vehicles, including the addition of three new exterior colors and an available E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3L V8 engine. The move is a part of the company's strategic initiative towards offering a biofuel powertrain in all body styles by 2010.
Reportedly, both H3-based vehicles would begin arriving at dealerships before the end of 2009 in North America.
James Taylor, CEO of HUMMER, said: In 2007, HUMMER committed to offer a biofuel powertrain in every vehicle by 2010 and follows through on that promise with the addition of a new 300-horsepower, E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3L V8.
This is just the first step in HUMMER's evolution to offer responsible, yet highly capable all-terrain vehicles. Future models will be lighter, more efficient and will continue to offer the best blend of off-road capability and on-road performance.
The new 5.3L V8 Flex Fuel engine is standard in all 2010 Alpha series' models and is a member of GM's small-block V-8 family. It is rated at 300 horsepower (224 kW) and 320 lb.-ft. of torque (434 Nm). An aluminum cylinder block is used with the H3 Alpha's engine. It helps reduce overall mass and maintains a more desirable front-to-rear weight balance, said the company.
