GILLIG Partners With More Than Half Of 2024 FTA Low-No Emissions Grantees

GILLIG LLC, a manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in the United States, has announced that it will partner with more than 48 communities nationwide through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Low- and No-Emission (Low-No) Vehicle grant program.

“These partnerships represent 65 percent of all awards designated for heavy-duty transit vehicles, highlighting GILLIG’s pivotal role in advancing clean-energy public transit solutions,” according to a press release. “This year, the FTA awarded approximately $1.5 billion to support 117 projects across 47 states, with 74 projects aimed at improving the emissions of heavy-duty transit vehicles. This significant level of funding was made possible by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which provided nearly $5 billion of funding in the past three years.

“The Low-No Emissions program supports the transition toward greater sustainability by providing resources to replace, rehabilitate and purchase low- and zero-emission buses, as well as building the necessary infrastructure and workforce development needed to support that transition.”

The release added: “The inclusion of GILLIG as a partner in a majority of these projects underscores the company’s leadership in providing innovative, sustainable transit solutions across a wide range of unique duty cycles around the country.”

“We are thrilled to be the trusted partner for these communities as they make transformative investments in their transit systems,” GILLIG Vice President of Sales Bill Fay said. “Our commitment to quality and reliability has made GILLIG a cornerstone of the public transit sector. This funding empowers our customers to drive America forward to a more sustainable and connected future alongside GILLIG.”

“Whether implementing CNG, Hybrid-Electric, Battery Electric, or Hydrogen Fuel Cell buses, GILLIG has the proven product performance and long-standing expertise to support fleets nationwide as they thoughtfully transition to lower emissions,” the release said. “This comprehensive approach helps agencies maintain their service levels and performance, staying true to the core mission of transit: connecting communities.”
