Welcome to a peaceful rainy night at the University of Maryland's campus. Tonight, we drive a 2010 Gillig Low Floor (unit 3010) with the hybrid powertrain along Shuttle-UM's Orange route.

Engine: Cummins ISB
Transmission: Allison EP40 Hybrid System

    They have the same buses at Disney World. I always loved riding back to the resort from the park late at night and listening to that engine
  • This my 1st time listening to a Gillig Hybrid. We have DE40LFs and Nova Artic Hybrids with the addition of 40 foots. Thanks for sharing and whip that bus!

    Hey man, brings back memories from driving the night buses!! I guess things are pretty quiet because of the virus. Do UMD still have Phantom Gilligs or do they have all low floor Gilligs now? I see the campus has grown tremendously since I was there!!! Class of 2007!! Go Terps!!!

    They sound like NFTA's 2010-2011 gillig hybrids

    Hey man, great channel and videos. Just subscribed! I used to ride a lot of these Gilligs when I lived in Rhode Island. Question, how does the driver operate the turn signals? I always saw the indicator on the overhead display, but never saw a switch. Keep it up, these are great videos!

    Can you make the same vid but daytime?
  • Amazing that after all these years those Gillig wipers don’t clear that right side to get full view of the mirror. I drive 2018/19 Gilligs and still the same engineering/design flaw.

    Switch the turbo brake on and watch the brakes work so much better

    I hated driving Gillig Hybrids. Only thing I liked was how easily they slowed down.
  • Never driven anything with an Allison transmission . I’m assuming β€˜F’ is the same as β€˜D’.
