The upcoming all-electric Hummer pickup truck will be available with a host of drivetrain layouts, including a range-topping model with three electric motors.
GM president Mark Reuss made the revelation during a General Motors presentation earlier this week to investors, Auto News reports.
“When we go to market, we’ll have 1-motor, 2-motor, 3-motor versions, offering different ranges, different performance at different price points to meet the customers’ needs whatever they may be,” Reuss said.
It is understood that the three-motor version will be the one offering up to 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft (15,590 Nm) of wheel torque, as promised in the recent Super Bowl commercial for the vehicle.

What remains to be seen is how the three electric motors will be installed in the pickup truck. It’s reasonable to assume that the single-motor variant will have an electric motor at the rear axle, the two-motor version will have electric motors at both the rear and front axles, but the range-topper is a little harder to determine. One possibility would be an electric motor powering one axle and two other hub motors individually powering the remaining two wheels.
We know that Tesla is also planning a three-motor version of the Cybertruck. The layout for it also remains a mystery.
Regardless of the layout, GM has said the Hummer EV will sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just three seconds.
The pickup will be unveiled in full on May 20 before going on sale in the fall of 2021.
