AM General makes G.I. Joe's and Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite rides -- the Humvee and the HUMMER. Militaries use the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee) for battlefield transportation, but after the vehicles gained attention in Operation Desert Storm, AM General introduced a civilian version, the HUMMER H1, for General Motors. The unwieldy width of the H1 led to the more parking-space-friendly HUMMER H2 (and the even smaller HUMMER H3). AM General's General Engine Products subsidiary also makes 6.5-liter diesel engines for automotive, military, and marine OEM markets. Investor Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes Holding owns about 70% of the company.
