The GMC Hummer EV SUV is set to enter production this year, and the first of the electric trucks off the line will be raising money for a good cause.

GMC is auctioning the build slot for VIN001 at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Jan. 28.

All proceeds from the sale are earmarked for the Tread Lightly organization, which promotes responsible outdoor recreation including hunting, fishing and off-road driving.

The truck on offer is a limited availability Edition 1 model that has a starting retail price of $105,595.

Barrett-Jackson has not put a pre-auction estimate on what it expects the vehicle to go for, but the first Hummer EV pickup was sold at last year's event for $2.5 million benefiting the Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
