Chronology
Predecessor	Gillig Phantom

The Gillig Low Floor (alternatively known as the Gillig Advantage) is a low-floor transit bus manufactured by Gillig for the U.S. market since 1997. It is produced in three nominal lengths (29, 35, and 40 foot) with several different powertrain options, including diesel and compressed natural gas engines, and diesel-electric hybrid, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains.

The Low Floor was the second low-floor bus sold in the United States (following the older New Flyer Low Floor). It was initially produced alongside the high-floor Gillig Phantom, but replaced the Phantom entirely by 2008. Since 2008, the Low Floor line is the only product produced by Gillig. The Low Floor is currently assembled at Gillig's factory in Livermore, California; prior to 2017, it was assembled in Hayward, California.
