American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM) said that it has launched production of new driveline systems for the HUMMER H2. The H2 will incorporate the latest systems technology developed at AAM's Technical Center in Rochester Hills, Mich.

AAM said it is producing front and rear axle assemblies and driveshafts for the new H2 sport utility vehicle.

The entire driveline system will incorporate AAM technologies that provide enhanced traction, stability, handling, durability and vehicle NVH characteristics, the company said. PowerLite independent front drive axles and five-link rear suspension drive axles, utilizing PowerDense gear technology, have been designed using AAM's standard four-point vehicle noise reduction plan to ensure the vehicle meets demanding customer requirements.
