The Gillig Low Floor, sometimes nicknamed the "Advantage", is a low floor transit and shuttle bus. The chassis is constructed from stainless steel, and the body is constructed from aluminum. The Low Floor has two derivative models: the Gillig BRT and Gillig Trolley Replica.
Design history
What would become the Gillig Low Floor was developed for the Hertz Corporation as a courtesy shuttle bus dubbed the H2000LF. It was commissioned by Hertz who had wanted to offer their customers, particularly to those with luggage and with limited mobility, a bus that was easily accessible. The bus featured one door at the centre, carpeted floor, and waist-high luggage racks along one side of the bus.[1] The low floor bus would later be made available to other companies and adapted for transit use with the first orders being placed in 1998.
Early Gillig Low Floor buses, including the H2000LF, had a smaller front windshield with a more pronounced destination sign cap. The front end was revised with an enlarged windshield beginning with the 2002 model in late 2001. Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation and Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority were among the first to take delivery of Low Floors with the new windshield. In 2005, a Gillig BRT front option was added, debuting with Kansas City Area Transportation Authority, while a Gillig Trolley Replica option was also added.
In the autumn of 2017, Gillig introduced an alternate appearance for the Low Floor. It has BRT headlights and a raised "Plus" roofline that merges into the front cap. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority was the first to take delivery of such buses.
Alternative fuels
In 2002, Gillig delivered the first diesel-electric hybrid bus to Metro Transit in the Twin Cities. Two additional hybrid buses were subsequently delivered to Metro Transit in 2003.
After design refinements, Gillig made the diesel-electric hybrid option available in 2004. Design changes include adding a rooftop battery unit to the rear. The Allison parallel hybrid system was the initial option, and an option for the Voith parallel DIWAhybrid system was made available in 2008. The Central Contra Costa Transit Authority became the first customer to order the Voith option. The BAE Systems HybriDrive series system became an option in 2011.[2]
In 2002, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority entered into a contract with Gillig and Ballard Power Systems to procure three hydrogen fuel cell Low Floor buses. In partnership with the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) the buses were put into revenue service as part of a demonstration program. The trial was also part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies (HFCIT) Program. Each bus was equipped with two 150 kilowatt proton-exchange membrane fuel cells from Ballard, as well as one three-phase induction traction motor and six speed transmission. The hydrogen is stored on the roof in eleven Dynetek Dynecell carbon fiber-wrapped tanks.
Gillig partnered with Enviromech Industries in March 2010 to supply CNG systems for use in Gillig buses.[3] Gillig was able to bid on low floor CNG contracts and won their first CNG order for the Seattle Tacoma Airport car rental shuttle.
On November 5, 2016, the Central Contra Costa Transit Authority unveiled the first fully-electric-powered Gillig Low Floor. The 29-foot Trolley Replica buses features an electric drivetrain with accessories from BAE Systems. The bus can be charged wirelessly during layovers and can be plugged in at the garage while it is out of service. The buses were funded in part by a grant from the Federal Transit Administration.[4]
At the 2017 American Public Transportation Association Expo, Cummins and Gillig announced a partnership to develop and offer Cummins’ electric drivetrain in Gillig buses. The battery electric Gillig Low Floor was unveiled in May 2019. It uses a direct-drive traction motor with peak torque of 3500 Newton-metres. A 444 kilowatt hour lithium ion battery provides an estimated range of 150 miles. The bus uses plug-in charging. Big Blue Bus in Santa Monica, California was the first to receive the battery electric Low Floor.[5] Gillig introduced a new battery design in 2023. Supplied by Akasol, the battery systems are available in capacities of 490, 588, and 686 kilowatt-hours.[6] This allows for an estimated range of 170, 205, 239 miles, respectively. In addition to plug-in charging, Gillig also offers pantograph and induction charging.
In April 2024, Gillig announced that they would begin production of a hydrogen fuel cell powered Low Floor in 2026. It is being developed in collaboration with BAE Systems and Ballard Power Systems. While the fuel cell buses produced by Gillig two decades prior were trial vehicles, the new product is set to enter mass production.
