| Design: |
| HUMMER is like nothing else,
and the H2H carries that tradition forward. Not only does the H2H
carry HUMMER’s iconic design, it creates a bold and striking
visual statement on the future of hydrogen. |
| |
| HUMMER designers took the
opportunity to make the H2H a unique expression of HUMMER’s
trademark appearance. The H2H is based on an H2 SUT (Sport Utility
Truck) body, with several enhancements. The SUT rear cargo bed is
covered by a special composite tonneau, giving the truck a “slant
back” appearance. The slant back shape is a new interpretation
of a body style created for the military HUMVEE, the precursor and
inspiration for HUMMER itself. |
| |
| The H2H is immediately recognized
by its Laser Blue exterior paint, a rich, deep color never before
used on a HUMMER. A special graphic on each side of the body announces
the truck’s hydrogen fuel application, along with HUMMER’s
support for California’s Hydrogen Highway Network initiative.
A special integrated roof rack and light bar sits atop the truck,
with a unique chrome grille guard on the front. |
| |
| On the inside, designers
again took the opportunity to integrate some one-of-a-kind touches.
These additions not only make the H2H more distinctive, they are
also styling experiments allowing designers to test ideas that may
influence future vehicles. These include special water-resistant
seats made of a prototype nylon-based material. Rather than splattering
and soaking, spilled water hits this material and immediately gathers
into droplets perched on the surface of the seat that can be easily
brushed aside.
|
| |
| H2H is equipped with a rear
entertainment system, featuring DVD players with screens mounted into
the headrests. The headliner of the H2H is made of Ultra-Suede, a
material that is especially soft, luxurious and durable. The instrument
panel features a carbon fiber-patterned appliqué evoking the
material used for the H2H’s fuel tanks. |
