Hummer EV in Extract mode raises suspension in relation to only for impressive 404 mm

GM is trying to maintain the Hummer family's reputation for off-road capability even when it goes electric, and the so-called "rake gear" is just part of a specific arsenal. Suspension in the Extract mode allows the distance to be increased to just an impressive 404 mm to overcome the most severe sections of the track with difficult terrain.

As he explains to Electrek, the owners of nearly 100 Hummer EVs that have already been shipped to customers will have access to the Extract Mode resource through an over-the-air software update, while only a few pickups and SUVs will require a visit to the site. business. Service for additional adjustment of the body height sensor. No future, all SUVs produced equipped with adjustable pneumatic suspension will initially support the ''Extract Mode''.

Not all, there are three suspension positions for electric vehicles of the Hummer EV family: Normal Mode (257 mm), Raised Mode (302 mm) and Extra High Mode (404 mm). According to the manufacturer, the Hummer EV will provide a distance only greater than the Ford Raptor, Ram TRX, Bronco Raptor and Rivian R1T – the main competitors in the North American market. There are two first positions for suspension with articulation at 330 mm, so this value is not indicated for the highest Extra Mode. Most likely, the maximum distance mode alone does not imply a long movement in this position and significantly increases the stiffness of the suspension. It is necessary, first of all, to rescue the car from the deep snow, lama, sulcos, besides passing through large stones at low speed.

Another feature of some electrical sensors is the ability to turn non-locally like a tank. To do this, the rotation of each of the four wheels must be controlled by a separate electric motor. Rivian and Mercedes-Benz are ready to offer this opportunity for their off-road vehicles; If you enter the series, you can appear in the Lordstown Motors and Tesla Cybertruck pics.
