Hummer HB Concept: How a Romanian Hummer Would Look Like

With the Hummer brand almost in Chinese hands, everybody is wondering how would the Asian ownership would influence the brand's products in terms of design and engineering. What no one is wondering is how would a Hummer look like and perform if it were to be drawn and built by a Romanian.

No one except Andrus Ciprian that is, the man behind what you see in the pictures here: the Hummer HB concept. Built as a green extreme off-roader (the car is intended to be powered by a V6 engine which will run on biodiesel), the HB features a body-on-frame format with aluminum and carbon fiber being used as the main materials for the construction. As with any Hummer, the wheels stand out thanks to their impressive size.

The HB will be powered, as said, by a V6 engine with biodiesel capabilities. The power of the unit is handled by a six speed automatic transmission.

Believe it or not, using a biodiesel engine to power a Hummer is not all that far fetched. Only recently, Hummer announced that it has extended color range for the 2010 H3 and H3T and has introduced the new E85 Flex Fuel capable 5.3L V8 engine for the models which will hit American shores this month.

Back to Andrus' design proposition, as you can see, he has to different designs in mind, with the first Hummer featuring a small windscreen split in three sections and the second one featuring a one-piece windscreen.
