The GMC Hummer EV may soon have a smaller version. The American automaker is said to be planning to bring a new variant of the Hummer EV, which will be significantly smaller than the current model. The current Hummer EV measures 5,507 mm long, 2,202 mm wide and weighs more than 4,000 kg. The smaller, expected electric pickup truck will be significantly shorter, narrower and lighter than the existing model, according to a report by Automotive News.

The report states that the project is currently under review and an initial design concept has been created at General Motors’ studio in California. It also claims the project is likely to be approved because it has been labeled a priority project by the automaker’s senior management.

The GMC Hummer EV has received a pretty good response in the United States since its launch. It has already racked up more than 90,000 reservations, prompting the automaker to halt bookings. Now, the automaker is aiming for a positive profit and building a smaller pickup truck with similar design and capabilities. Interestingly, at the same time, GM is ramping up production of the larger Hummer and preparing for the SUV’s arrival early next year. The report also claims that if approved, the midsize pickup will drop the price of the larger version.

The upcoming electric pickup variant of the Hummer EV will be based on the automaker’s modular Ultium platform, designed and developed specifically for electric vehicles. This architecture also underpins other models such as the GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Lyriq and Celestiq, Chevrolet Silverado EV, Equinox EV and Blazer EV.

The upcoming mid-size electric pickup will be a key part of the brand’s electric product strategy, with the company aiming to launch 30 EVs by 2025.
