Gillig Spirit

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Gillig Spirit was a short, high-floor transit bus built by Gillig at its Hayward, California, plant from 1989 to 1991. Gillig marketed it as a lower-cost alternative to the Phantom, and made it in one 28 foot length with a 96 inch wide body. Like the Phantom it had a step entrance. Only 250 were built, and all of them were sold in the United States. The engines listed for the Spirit are the Caterpillar 3208 and the Cummins B5.9, paired with an Allison MT-643 automatic transmission. The larger Phantom stayed in production alongside it until 2008.
