GM and Chysler already have the hybrid drivetrain technology to build trucks.  Back a few years ago, GM, Daimler-Chrysler (back when the two companies were still merged) and BMW all joined forces to develop the 2-Mode hybrid transmission, and it is used in production vehicles.  It took 2 years to develop the 2-mode system.

GM put the 2-mode system in its Tahoe Hybrid, Yukon Hybrid and Escalade Hybrids.  Chrysler put it in its Aspen Hybrid (which they stopped building two months ago because it wasn&#039;t selling well).  Daimler/Mercedes Benz is going to put the 2-mode in an upcoming car, but hasn&#039;t made any announcements.  And BMW will be putting the 2-mode system in its upcoming X6 ActiveHybrid SUV.</description>
