The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as the Humvee, is a four-wheel drive military light truck produced by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles originally performed by the original jeep, and others such as the Vietnam-era M151 1/4 ton, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV), and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also used by numerous other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations. The Humvee's widespread use in the Persian Gulf War, where it negotiated the treacherous desert sand with ease, helped inspire the civilian Hummer automotive marque.
Since the WWII era Bantam Reconnaissance Car, the United States Army had relied on jeeps to transport small groups of soldiers. The jeep was built around a requirement for a compact vehicle with a folding windshield that was actually shorter than the Volkswagen Beetle. It seated three with a 660 lb (300 kg) payload and weighed just over one ton. By the 1970s, the U.S. Army had tried larger militarized civilian trucks, but even these no longer satisfied newer requirements. In 1977, Lamborghini developed the Cheetah model in an attempt to meet the Army contract specifications.
There are at least three Chinese automobile manufacturers building Humvee copies. Two of the Humvee copies rely heavily on copied U.S.-made parts including chassis, gear box, and diesel engine in the past. Currently, these companies have the capability of making indigenous parts for these Humvee-like vehicles.
During the 1988 Beijing Defence Exhibition, AM General presented a M998 4x4 to the People's Liberation Army. The PLA didn't show much interest to the vehicle before the events of Operation Desert Storm, which made them interested in studying the vehicle. The Chinese petroleum industry purchased Hummers through American commercial sources in the mid-1990s. This provided the Chinese auto makers with an opportunity to examine the vehicle closely and provided an opportunity for reverse engineering. Later in 2003, the EQ2050 made its debut in a car show after a prototype was made in 2002. The vehicle became the preferred candidate in 2004 with 57 vehicles sent to the PLA for trials from 2004 to 2006. The first 100 EQ2050s were made with American-made parts. It passed design trials in 2006. EQ2050s were then delivered to PLA special forces unit in the Guangzhou Military Region. It's known as Mengshi in Chinese.
