General Motors wrote in a press release :
“The supertruck’s industry-leading Crab Mode feature is enabled by the GMC HUMMER EV’s four-wheel steering capability, allowing it to move in a diagonal direction – functionality that is tailor-made for off-roading customers”
The latest teaser is intended to show off the add-on capability that allows the front and rear wheels of the zero-emission utility truck to turn in the same direction — allowing it to move diagonal.
