The Hummer EV will get its energy from General Motors’ all-new Ultium batteries and power from Ultium Drive, which is GM’s proprietary EV drive units. The company estimates 1,000 horsepower and a mindboggling 15,951Nm of torque generated by three separate motors. Image Credit: Supplied

It features a four-wheel steering feature CrabWalk1 that allows the rear wheels and front wheels to steer at the same angle at low speeds, enabling diagonal movement of the vehicle, for greater manoeuvrability on difficult terrain. Image Credit: Supplied
