	'''Global Hybrid Cooperation''' (formerly called '''Advanced Hybrid System 2''' or '''AHS2''') is a set of [[hybrid vehicle]] technologies jointly developed by [[General Motors Corporation\|General Motors]] and [[DaimlerChrysler]], with [[BMW]] joining in 2005. It uses two sets of gears in an [[automatic transmission]]: One for the [[internal combustion engine]] and another to multiply the power of a pair of [[electric motor]]s. General Motors has stopped using the "AHS2" name as of 2006, preferring to call it simply a "two-mode hybrid system".

	[[Toyota]]'s [[Hybrid Synergy Drive]] is similar in that it also combines the power from a single engine and a pair of electric motors, although it uses only one planetary gearset. [[Honda]]'s [[Integrated Motor Assist]] uses a more traditional internal combustion engine and transmission where the flywheel is replaced with an electric motor.

[[Honda]]'s [[Integrated Motor Assist]] uses a more traditional internal combustion engine and transmission where the flywheel is replaced with an electric motor.

			The goal of the cooperation is to build a flexible powertrain system that can be scaled to fit various vehicle models and brands. Each company can tailor the hybrid system to their own vehicle requirements, but will have the benefit of shared components and suppliers to keep costs low.
