The Gillig Low Floor (originally named Gillig H2000LF and also nicknamed Gillig Advantage^[1]) is a transit bus manufactured by Gillig since 1997.^[2] The second low-floor bus design introduced in the United States (after the New Flyer Low Floor), the Low Floor originally served as a second product range for the company alongside the Gillig Phantom. As transit bus operators shifted toward low-floor designs, the Low Floor has replaced the Phantom entirely, becoming the sole vehicle platform offered by the company since 2008.

Offered in three body lengths and multiple body configurations, the Low Floor is offered for a variety of transit applications. It is offered with conventional diesel, diesel-electric hybrid, compressed natural gas, and battery-electric powertrain options.

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