Diesel Hummer H1's have been known to and are capable of running on biodiesel (as are all other diesel vehicles) without any modifications, giving it better mileage, producing less pollution, and sometimes providing better performance (biodiesel has higher cetane rating than petrodiesel) even though it would void the warranty.
In 1990, before the H1 was sold to the public, and even before Operation: Desert Storm, AM General tested two matching white H1s by entering them in the "London To Peking Motor Challenge", a car rally consisting largely of vintage automobiles. The H1s performed flawlessly, traversing the rough roads and desert heat of central Asia with ease and even performing stunts like climbing sand dunes in the Gobi Desert for the amusement of local villagers. Highlights of the drive were broadcast in the United States on ESPN.
In 2003, there were only 10,877 Hummer H1s in existence.
In 2004, AM general sold 447 Hummer H1s
In 2005, no H1's were produced
In 2006, AM general sold 374 Hummer H1s
Crawl ratio of the old 6.5L H1 was 35.35:1. The H1 Alpha is now 44.5:1.
The Hummer H1 uses front brake calipers from the AMC Eagle, steering column from the Ford LTD, ignition key set from the Ford Escort, armrests from the Jeep Cherokee, and seats from Isringhausen.
The Hummer H1's exterior is a combination of SMC fiberglass (for the hood) steel, and aluminum. Its body panels are bonded together with a combination of rivets, bolts and cyanoacrylic (ie, Superglue) adhesives.
It is featured in the PlayStation 2 game Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition/Remix.
In Pixar's 2006 film Cars, Arnold Schwarzenegger (one of the first civilians to own an H1 Hummer) voices a cameo starring an anthropomorphic Hummer H1 known as "The Governator".
In 2007, a CNN Hummer H1, known as "Warrior One", that was used to cover the Iraq War was auctioned for charity after being renovated by TLC.
In Reno 911, an episode satirizes the vehicle's large size and gas consumption.
