Avalon Motor Corporation is a car manufacturer and company in the Union of Everett, based in Detroit, Michigan. Avalon produces a line of varying civilian motor vehicles such as sedans, coupes, SUV's and pickup trucks. All of Avalons vehicles are clean energy, clean fuel technology which can be chosen between hydro-fuel or fusion cell engines formats. Avalon also produces a series of motorcycles through its division, X-Ray Motors and in early 2011, bought out Hummer from GM, which had cancelled its Hummer line. Under Avalon, Hummer reintroduced the Hummer H1, a civilian model of the military Humvee, which comes in three models and plans to release in 2013 a Hummer H4 Jeep.
==Divisions==
===Avalon===
The Avalon Car Company was formed in May 2007 through funding by the Everetti government. New clean cars were needed to be produced and most manufacturers stuck to producing gasoline and gas/electric hybrid vehicles. Conversion from gasoline to Hydro-Electric-Solar (HES) was fairly expensive for the government, which provided grants for people who signed up to have their cars converted. Avalon sells only clean fuel vehicles. Two types are sold, HES and fusion cell, which is a very new technology for civilian cars. HES is common in Everett, most vehicles have been converted and hydrogen fuel stations have been constructed across the country and even outnumber gasoline stations. Fusion cell is used frequently in military vehicles. Avalon produces a selection of full size vehicles, ranging from coupes, sedans, economy cars, SUVs and pickup truck models. In 2010, additional new models were planned for release in the 2011 year including heavy duty trucks to compete with Ford's F series.
===Hummer===
In 2011, Avalon Motors purchased the rights to the former General Motors Hummer brand. In late 2010, Hummer was shut down by GM and production of the vehicles stopped. A Chinese auto maker attempted to purchase Hummer but withdrew its bid. Avalon purchased Hummer in February 2011 and began plans for producing HES and fusion cell versions of the popular heavy SUV trucks. Hummer trucks produced by Avalon would include reproduction of the older Hummer H1 model. The new production of Hummer vehicles would begin in 2012 with three available models, the H1, H2 and H3. An H4 Jeep model is also rumored to be in design. Under Avalon, the H1 model comes in three versions, the H1 EXT, similar to a Hummer pickup truck with an open rear, the H1 SUV, like the H2 and H3 with a fully closed SUV cabin and the H1 Humvee, a civilian mockup of the military Humvee.
===X-Ray Motorcycles===
In 2011, a new division of Avalon Motors was released, producing fusion cell and hydrogen powered motorcycles including both racer models and choppers. X-Ray released four models of bikes, two of which are racer "crotch rocket" motorcycles, one travel bike and one chopper. Additional models are planned for the 2012 year.
==Technology & Engine Makes==
===Hydro Cell (HES)===
Hydro-Electric-Solar vehicles use hydrogen as the primary fuel in the vehicle, combusting hydrogen the same way gasoline is used in a gas vehicle. Hydrogen combustion produces 20% more power than gasoline vehicles. In addition to hydrogen, HES vehicles can be charged electrically and also use solar energy to power the vehicle. Cars can be plugged in and charged either at home or at a fueling station, using a battery in the trunk area. The battery can also be charged when in hydrogen mode. The windows of the vehicle are transparent solar panels. The windows are slightly darker in color than a normal glass window. These also charge the battery and run the car electrically. HES vehicles run for about $25,000 to $35,000.
===Fusion Cell===
Fusion cell vehicles are much cheaper. They are a completely electric vehicle. Instead of using a regular, rechargeable battery, the battery is replaced with a fusion cell battery. Fusion cell batteries consist of fusion material compacted into a battery. Fusion cell batteries for civilian vehicle use are about the size of a spotlight flashlight battery. These batteries contain enough energy to power the entire vehicle and producing the power to reach a maximum of 200 miles per hour. Fusion cell vehicles can last for decades before needing battery replacement. Fusion cell vehicles cost between $15,000 and $25,000.

==Legality==
The Union of Everett has placed certain restrictions on the sale of fusion cell vehicles. Because of the power contained in fusion cell batteries, there is a risk that such technology could be used to create bombs. Fusion power is extremely powerful as seen in the fusion bomb. A fusion cell battery for civilian car use can be altered and result in a fire, causing an explosion capable of sinking an aircraft carrier. The Union of Everett has restricted the sale of fusion cell cars to the Middle East.
