GM to stop Hummer production as sale looms


General Motors will halt Hummer production next week at its Louisiana plant until sale of the brand to a Chinese company is completed.

Hummer spokesman Nick Richards said it was unclear whether jobs would be affected at the plant in Shreveport, Louisiana, which also builds Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks.

"It hasn't been determined what the impact will be but right now, but Hummer production is under a quarter of production" at the plant, Richards said.

GM agreed last year to sell Hummer to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery and expected the deal to close early in 2010 after approval by US and Chinese regulators.

Assembly of Hummers will halt Jan. 19 because there's "sufficient inventory in the field" to sustain dealers while the sale makes its way through the regulatory process, Richards said.

Richards said the company still expects to get regulatory approval and to complete the deal.

Those two are no slackers in functionality as they come with Wi-Fi, GPS and pioneer social networking integration via homescreen widgets. They also pack some innovative sound enhancing technologies such as Noise Shield, Clear Voice and Intelligent Volume Adaptation.

Both the Elm and the Hazel have splash-resistant bodies and curved designs meant to fit better in the palm of your hand (obviously based on the same design cues as the XPERIA X10).
