GMC puts Hummer EV to the ultimate test – sub-zero temperatures!

Question: Have you ever participated in any sort of Ironman contest? A gruelling test of Spartan proportions – putting you through the extremes – whittling you down to bare bones. Until the inessential is stripped away, and what’s left is a raw tank of a being – the ultimate beast from the abyss.

Relate? That’s exactly what GMC has planned for the Hummer EV.

Follow the Hummer EV’s testing and development journey as a team of brave engineers goes all Bear Grylls – moving from extreme climate to extreme climate in the lead-up to its production debut this fall.

Freezing in Michigan

First up – Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Harsh winter conditions. Sub-zero temperatures. Slippery surfaces. Snow, ice, steep and split-mu grades. Not for the faint hearted.

Test 1: Integrating its powerful all-wheel drive torque distribution with traction control system.

Test 2: Calibrating and testing the electronic stability control system.

The stakes are high. Will the Hummer EV survive? Check out this badass video to find out how it fared!

Watch this space to keep track of where the engineers will take the Hummer EV to next!
