Modine says that, since 2023, Gillig has deployed over one hundred hybrid buses installed with Modine’s EVantage system.

The Gen 3 Battery Electric buses are offered in two lengths (35 and 40 ft), featuring a Cummins EV powertrain and an Akasol (BorgWarner) AKASystem 9 AKM 150 CYC battery system for the following available capacity configurations: 490 kWh, 588 kWh and 686 kWh.

These hydrogen storage tanks will be produced at the Hexagon Purus facility in Westminster, Maryland and will be used in Gillig’s new fuel cell-powered transit buses.

The bus will integrate BAE System’s electric powertrain, Ballard’s hydrogen fuel cell and Gillig’s low-floor body. Production is set to begin in Q1 2026 for the North American market.

Gillig has apparently bought the former Lightning eMotors site in Loveland, Colorado, and it will retain some of the company's engineers in order to turn it into a dedicated electric powertrain technology hub. 

Gillig's 40 ft electric bus received the highest-ever score for a battery electric bus tested at Altoona, Pennsylvania.

GILLIG LLC of Livermore, California, has announced a partnership with autonomous driving specialist Robotic Research, based in Clarksburg, Maryland. Under the agreement, the two firms will collaborate to bring advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and Level 4 autonomous driving technology to GILLIG transit buses in North America.

Gillig has secured an order for 60 electric transit buses from Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authroity, to be delivered over the next five years.

Gillig and Akasol partner to provide new low-floor transit buses with larger batteries up to a maximum capacity of 686kWh.

Following the recent launch of its new generation electric hybrid system, eGen Flex, Allison Transmission has announced it will supply three units with partners Cummins and bus manufacturer, Gillig Corporation to IndyGo, the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation.

Allison Transmission Inc and bus manufacturer, Gillig Corporation have signed an agreement allowing Gillig to offer Allison’s eGen Flex electric hybrid propulsion system from 2021.
