For the next two decades, GILLIG perfected electrification technologies in its hybrid and battery electric product offerings. The buses are 100 percent built by American workers in Livermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-4bk6o\">GILLIG electric buses are built on the company\u2019s proven low floor platform.

These new battery-electric buses will provide safe, reliable and environmentally friendly transit for several communities in the state. We take great pride in providing our customers with buses they can depend on and that will help them achieve their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-5s6oi\">\u201cUTA has a long-term commitment to reduce emissions along the Wasatch Front, and the GILLIG battery electric buses will greatly support that effort,\u201d said UTA Executive Director <strong>Carolyn M. Gonot<\/strong>. \u201cThese buses will be used on heavily traveled corridors, each eliminating dozens of gallons of diesel fuel being used daily. By continuing to add alternative fuel vehicles to our fleet, UTA is increasing its contribution to air quality and sustaining our high quality of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and Park City Transit have awarded GILLIG a $44.2 million contract for 44 battery electric buses, with an option of 95 additional buses over five years.
