HMMWV: The same but different - very different

摘要

It is highly unlikely that anywhere near another 280,000 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) will ever be built, or that AM General’s Mishawaka facility will again have close to 100 HMMWVs per day rolling off its production lines. However, despite persistent reports of the vehicle's pending demise based on a mix of supposed obsolescence and replacement by the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), orders for current-generation HMMWVs continue to be placed, as do those for the upgrade and life extension of existing fleets the world over.
