HUMMER H3T

Off-road manufacturer announces plans and initial suppliers for licensed accessories for the brand's first pick-up truck

DALLAS, 2008-04-02 - Truck-savvy Texans received a firsthand look at the 2009 HUMMER H3T as HUMMER debuted the brand's first pick-up truck to media attending the Dallas Auto Show today.

Texas represents an important market to HUMMER as the brand prepares to launch its newest product. In addition to a reputation as the nation's truck capitol, Texas also represents a significant percentage of HUMMER's national sales. In 2007, HUMMER sales in Texas represented 11.6% of HUMMER national sales, up 24.9% from 2006.

Oct 30, 2007 -- SHREVEPORT - Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco welcomed General Motors officials today as they confirmed GM will invest approximately $73 million into its Shreveport truck assembly plant to prepare the plant for production of the all-new HUMMER H3T. Larger than a truck, smaller than a full-size, the H3T is scheduled to arrive in dealerships by third quarter 2008.

After the announcement, the Governor ceremonially signed Act 1 of the 2007 Legislative Session, one of the incentives that paved the way for this investment. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Taylor Townsend and the Shreveport-Bossier Legislative Delegation, accelerates the manufacturing machinery and equipment exclusion for motor vehicle manufacturers.
