General Motors says it will discontinue Hummer after its bid to sell the brand to a Chinese company failed. GM says it was unable to complete the sale of Hummer to heavy equipment maker Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co. GM spokesman Otie McKinley says the company has begun plans to wind down the Hummer brand. He could give no details about when Hummer would officially be a brand of the past. The GM plant in Shreveport had been making Hummer H3s. Even before the Tengzhong deal fell through, the plant was on track to close no later than 2012.
