The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV; also called: Humvee) is a family of light four-wheel-drive military trucks and utility vehicles produced by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles previously played by the original jeep, and others such as the Vietnam War-era M151 jeep, the M561 "Gama Goat", their ambulance versions M718A1 and M792, the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the US military, it is also used by many other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations. The Humvee was used extensively during the Gulf War of 1991, where it sailed over treacherous desert terrain; this use helped inspire the civilian Hummer versions. After going through a replacement process, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) was chosen to replace its successor in frontline service. The original M998 A0 series had a curb weight of 5,200 lbs (2,400 kg), a payload of 2,500 lbs (1,100 kg), a 6.2 L (380 cu in) V8 diesel engine or 6.3 L gasoline, and a three-speed automatic transmission. The latest iteration of the Humvee series can be seen in the M1151A1 and subsequent armored A1 versions. It features a stronger suspension and a larger 6.5-liter turbo-diesel engine to support a weight of up to 680 kg (1,500 lbs) of additional armor.
