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.
