isn’t mengshi also warrior???

anyways . . BRENDAN— U.S.A

didn’t a chinese company bought(or at least a part of) the rights to HUMMER since GM was close(or maybe did) file bankruptcy ??

and i think your suggestion of stopping the sale of US parts around the world is a big financial and economical mistake . . i believe companies like GM motors rely heavily on parts sale around the world to stop circulation(maybe i’m mistaken but still..) . . American cars aren’t selling as much as they used to be . . there are a lot of international brands that are very competitive and more affordable and environment-friendlier than american-made cars . . even Americans buy other international cars because their cheaper and more fuel-efficient (^^,

[...] be slightly smaller than the current Hummer H3, and the chassis will be taken from the current Dongfeng Crazy Soldier. The engine will also be a Dongfeng self designed unit, and is expected to be a yet to be a diesel [...]

I think Terriosts will get their hands on cars like this and be a major issue even to our humvee… most of ours are from AM GENRAL and from the 80′S

The US cars have been getting copied overseas like the chevy colorado… another chinese company used AMERICAN CHEVY ENGINES (VORTEC) the hemi isnt desirable so they havent used them yet. but the cummins are US engines no one elses… BUT CUMMINS is not built by an automaker making them able to sell to whomb ever they like…

NO Truck that is good does not include US PARTS from GM, DODGE, and Ford… I think that US automakers should get a profit of the amount sold… if that came to the US under hummer it would prob. bring booming buissness… In Asia the US companies SUVs Like the Trialblazer, Tahoe is Booming… in europe it is the same way… WE NEED TO STOP SELLING OUR PARTS FOR OUR US AUTOMAKERS TO BE A NEEDED CAR FORCE IN THE WORLD.

You could have GM parts made in China. The Cummins engine in the crazy soldier is made under license in China, no? The PLA has military vehicles based on an Iveco military vehicle right? And AM General does not own the Hummer license, you are correct, it’s like how “Jeep” is a brand, this is an HMMWV vehicle. I’m surprised my last post didn’t show up on this. One last thing, Santana Motors in Spain manufactured Land Rovers under license but they were not exactly the same as their British counterparts (for example, the six cylinder engines were different, as well as the hood/bonnet). I do agree with you on most aspects Jay, I just haven’t found consistent information on this vehicle, it seems like all the information contradicts each other, licensed vs. unlicensed.

Wrong MOLOTOV.

1. They’d never make a military vehicle that relies on American parts.

2. Apparently they claim to have been “developing” this for 4 1/2 years, AM General hasn’t owned the Hummer license since 1999.

3. If it was licensed it would be an exact copy, not a close one.

Odd, I’m getting conflicting stories in my research. Some people report there was supposed to be a licensing deal with AM General and they provided the chassis to Dongfeng. A few Hummer enthusiast sites report it as using American parts (drivertrain, transmission, suspension, etc.). So there could be the possibility that it’s a copy that uses American parts (Edmunds reports it uses a Cummins turbo diesel). I’m starting to lean more towards knockoff but with American components. For example, in Spain, URO produces the VAMTAC, the vehicle looks about the same as a Hummer but it is actually larger. The engine comes from Steyer while the transmission comes from Allison (former transmission division of GM). I guess we’ll get the facts straight soon.

I think that is the Shenyang Aerospace version, the Dongfeng crazy soldier is set for employment within the PLA, and the PLA wont take anything that is dependent on foreign sources.

Might I add this is a licensed copy courtesy of AM General/GM with genuine GM parts? Might want to add that to the post before somebody calls bloody murder.
