Akin to the traditional quasi-classical trajectory method for investigating the dynamics on a
single adiabatic potential energy surface for an elementary chemical reaction, we carry out
the dynamics on a 2-state ab initio potential energy surface including nonadiabatic coupling
terms as friction terms for D++ H2 collisions. It is shown that the resulting dynamics correctly
accounts for nonreactive charge transfer, reactive non-charge transfer and reactive charge
transfer processes. In addition, it leads to the formation of triatomic DH2+ species as well.
