Talk:Global Hybrid Cooperation

How does it work?

The Technology section is not very informative. Does anyone know where there is a graphical representation of internal workings and power flow of this transmission? Does anyone have a picture of this thing? Does anyone know what its designation is i.e. TH400 or 4L60-E?Madzyzome (talk) 03:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I plan to start expanding the technology section.(I've already made a few corrections and updated data to current)The current technology section primarily discusses the 2-mode transmission as used in the HD transit busses. The HD version is a bit more simplistic and only uses a single additional planetary gearset after MG2. However the 2ML70 transmission as used in the 2-mode SUVs(to answer your question) actually adds an additional planetary memember and 2 more cluches in between MG1 and MG2.(talk) 21:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The transmission's GM designation is the 2ML70 in the GMT900 rear wheel drive pltforms and 2MT65 in the FWD version (ie previously to be released in the now cacelled Vue 2-mode hybrid but now slated for the upcoming BUICK utility based on the Theta II (Captiva/Antarra) platform

Toyota and Ford

Toyota and Ford did not share technology; they simply independently arrived at basically the same solution (according to both companies). So I have removed the sentence "This parallels the work of Ford Motor Company and Toyota, who also independently developed similar hybrid systems and shared patents." Even though the sentence does agree with me, the context of it suggests Toyota and Ford did a similar thing as GM/Chrysler/BMW, so it's misleading and/or irrelevant.

They are not similar in any way (other than the obvious use of electric motors and planetary gearing. The Toyota and and Ford transmissions are 1-mode (input split) only, and the 2-mode transmission adds a "compound slit" capability, and permits electrically variable ratios spanning 4 fixed gear ratios and paths of power.

Rename, alter, redirect this WP?

I believe this WP would be better served as a separate "2-mode hybrid" (or two-mode) wiki page. Global Hybrid Cooperation was/is the name of the consortium of companies that have created the technologies.However WHO is ever going to find this WP?? When one searches for (as currently advertised by both GM and Chrysler) for "2-mode hybrid" or two-mode hybrid" a redirection here just doesn't make any sense. I suggest THIS WP be re-written to better describe the cooperation between these companies and perhaps the timeline of it's development as a business case. Then move ALL of the technical content to a separate WP that will better explain the technology and add links between them both. Any objections?? WopOnTour (talk) 20:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal

2-mode hybrid looks as if it was started to describe a certain patented technology, yet this article has for more technical information than the new article does. It's also worth mentioning the article is very poorly sourced. Is there really enough info here for a new article? I'm proposing a redirect to the technology section of this article for 2-mode hybrid. roguegeek (talk·cont) 23:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to put the merge into place. roguegeek (talk·cont) 16:56, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Novabus

It's worth adding that Novabus has also produced a number of hybrid buses using this transmission. A quick glance at the STO (Société de Transport de l'Outaouais's) website will provide you with this information, although I'm sure other sources are available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.131.5.182 (talk) 13:36, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I am very certain that the Cadillac CT6 PHEV uses an updated version of this same design but I haven't found a source yet.VX1NG (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
