Gillig Low Floor
American transit bus type / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gillig Low Floor (originally named Gillig H2000LF and also nicknamed Gillig Advantage[1]) is a transit bus manufactured by Gillig since 1997.[2] The second low-floor bus design introduced in the United States (after the New Flyer Low Floor), the Low Floor originally served as a second product range for the company alongside the Gillig Phantom. As transit bus operators shifted toward low-floor designs, the Low Floor has replaced the Phantom entirely, becoming the sole vehicle platform offered by the company since 2008.
