The HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle), better known as the Humvee, is an iconic military vehicle that has become a symbol of the US Army since the 1980s. It is now being gradually replaced by a more modern and protected vehicle, the JLTV. The original HMMWVs had no VIN and were not intended for public use. However, today they can be found in private hands around the world, from US auctions to European collectors.
