The HMMWV is powered by a turbocharged 6.5l V8 diesel engine. The vehicle supports more than 100 military missions – such as cargo and troop carriers, and TOW missile and special operations vehicles.

Its 15 configurations share a common engine, chassis and transmission, with 44 interchangeable parts that are used in more than one position.
