    A Chinese company is to buy Hummer, the General Motors brand known for its military- inspired offroad vehicles and seen as a symbol of gas-guzzling, road-hogging American excess. Hummer’s sale to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company will close this year, marking one of the biggest overseas acquisitions in carmaking by a Chinese group.

    "one of the biggest overseas acquisitions in carmaking by a Chinese group"

    One of the biggest? Perhaps, but still quite small I would have thought. How many vehicles did Hummer make last year?

    And MG must be more significant, if not actually bigger.

    He could live in China, but the Chinese people have seen the terminator and now they had classed him a weapon of mass destruction.

    What Car? says the deal is done:

    General Motors has agreed to sell its Hummer brand to the Chinese firm Tengzhong.

    The sale of the 4x4 maker comes while GM is undergoing a period of restructuring after being bailed out by the US government.

    GM's
    European brands, Opel and Vauxhall, are currently being sold to
    Canadian car parts firm Magna, while Saab is to be acquired by Swedish
    supercar maker Koenigsegg.

    Under the terms of the agreement,
    Tengzhong will take ownership of the Hummer brand, trademark and trade
    names, as well as the license rights necessary for the production of
    Hummer vehicles.

    Tengzhong intends to purchase Hummer through
    an investment entity, in which it will hold an 80% stake, while Chinese
    entrepreneur Mr Suolang Duoji will buy the remaining 20% stake.

    China Car Times wrote:Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co, the buyer of General Motors’ Hummer brand, will hopefully clear government approval of the deal as early as the end of this year, the company’s CEO said Saturday.

    “If everything goes smoothly, we will be able to get approval from Ministry of Commerce (MofCom) in the fourth quarter (of this year) or at some point in the beginning of next year,” Tengzhong CEO Yang Yi, who was in Detroit for the signing of the acquisition deal, told China Daily in a telephone interview.

    A deal by owner General Motors to sell the marque to China’s Sichuan Tengzhong for $150m (£97m) broke down on Wednesday following days of uncertainty.

    It is understood that the deal – the original January 31 deadline for which was extended until February 28 – collapsed as a result of Chinese
    environmental policies.

    Hummer is now to close. Unless Spyker buy them.
