The Gillig Low Floor (originally named Gillig H2000LF and also nicknamed Gillig Advantage^[1]) is a transit bus manufactured by Gillig since 1997.^[2] Introduced as a second product range by the company (alongside the Gillig Phantom), the Low Floor later replaced the Phantom entirely. Since 2008, the model line has become the sole vehicle platform produced by Gillig.

The Low Floor was the second low-floor bus design introduced in the United States, following the New Flyer Low Floor. During the 2000s, the configuration came into wide use by transit operators in place of previous high-floor designs. Along with several lengths and body styles, the Low Floor is offered with several different powertrain options, including options for diesel engines, diesel-electric hybrid, compressed natural gas, and battery-electric powertrains.

The Low Floor is currently assembled by Gillig at its Livermore, California facility; prior to 2017, the vehicle was assembled in Hayward, California.
