GMC EarthCruiser and Hummer Omega Edition is Here!!!

GMC is continuing to deliver on their reputation of world-class premium off-road trucks and SUVs. Today they have taken this to the EV auto war of trucks and SUVs by offering EarthCruiser's upfit solutions. A company with proven overland vehicle and global field expertise in creating a solution that is integrated onto the GMC Hummer EV product line, allowing customers to explore the world in a new way.

The GMC EarthCruiser Innovations started with the 2019 AT4 sub-brand and has grown into the AT4X for both the Sierra and Canyon trucks. Believing in an all electric future, GMC launched the GMC Hummer EV Pickup in 2020 and the SUV in 2021 and in 2022 the Sierra EV Denali Pickup. Josh Tavel, GM Executive Chief Engineer and Battery Electric Trucks stated the following: “GMC has long been a leader in professional-grade trucks with 100-plus years of uncompromising pickup capability, luxury and driver control, we had an instant connection with EarthCruiser — a leader in the overland community — and their similar vision to accelerate the zero-tailpipe-emissions future. EarthCruiser products have proven their performance in environments around the world and we’re excited to join them on this next chapter of adventure and exploration.”

GMC and EarthCruiser have come together in their shared vision to develop top-tier, zero-compromise adventure vehicles, leveraging EarthCruiser’s engineering technologies that have resulted in unique and innovative self-contained living habitats, while keeping capability and agility at the forefront.

“EarthCruiser designs its vehicles to thrive in the most extreme, toughest environments imaginable,” said EarthCruiser CEO/Founder Lance Gillies. “From the Australian Outback to the Alaskan wilderness and everywhere in between, an EarthCruiser was made to tackle tough terrain. As we consider the future of overlanding, we are continuing to look toward key technologies like electrification that will help us explore for decades to come. Electrification presents exciting opportunities for overland use, such as precise torque control over terrain and ease-of-use, in addition to zero-tailpipe emissions. We’re thrilled to be working with GM’s team of top-tier EV engineers and look to develop an overland vehicle that’s truly made for, and will define, the future of this industry.”

The GMC HUMMER EV overlander concept will be unveiled in late summer 2023.
