World’s First Electric Hummer H1 Unveiled By Kreisel Electric And Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s passion for anything with an engine and wheels is well-known. He’s now looking into eco-friendly ways to move around. Last year, he got an electric-powered Mercedes-Benz G-Class (image below) and now, it’s Hummer H1’s turn.

Arnold Schwarzenegger presented the world’s first electric Hummer from Kreisel Electric at the opening of the company’s new research and development center in Rainbach, Mühlkreis district, Upper Austria. The Hollywood superstar added that if Kreisel keeps it up at this pace, he will soon be able to fly in an electric airplane. Apart from the electric Hummer H1 and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Kreisel Electric has also created electric-powered versions of the Volkswagen Golf, BMW 3 Series Touring, Skoda Yeti 4×4 and the Porsche Panamera.

The vehicle can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h and has a range of about 300 kilometers and a total weight of 3,300 kg. In case you were wondering, the standard version of this American off-road vehicle consumes up to 24 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers and emits up to 470g CO2 per kilometer.

However, the electric powered Hummer H1 will be limited to the prototype only. Markus Kreisel, one of the founders of Kreisel Electric confirmed that the prototype is aimed to showcase what is possible using Kreisel technology and that the brand will not mass-produce the model.

The new development and manufacturing center in Rainbach, Mühlkreis district was inaugurated in the presence of the Austrian Federal Chancellor Mag. The new 7,000 sqm facility includes a prototype workshop and a completely automated manufacturing line for Kreisel Electric battery storage devices for use in the small-batch production of passenger vehicles, utility vehicles, buses, boats and airplanes, as well as in storage solutions.
