Should Gillig introduce a next generation product? |
|
|
Posted by Pink Jazz on Mon May 20 12:38:13 2013 I was wondering, does anyone think Gillig may soon come out with a next generation low floor bus to directly compete with the New Flyer Xcelsior? The Low Floor/BRT as it is now is a heavier bus than the Xcelsior, and perhaps Gillig should give its loyal customers a next generation product that would be more comparable.In addition to reducing the weight of the bus, here are some options Gillig should consider in a next generation product: • Extend the windows downward on the low floor section of the bus for shorter riders can see out of them. • Except on CNG models, move the HVAC system to the roof and add a rear window option. • Offer an articulated variant. • Offer skylight rooftop emergency exits. What does anyone here think? |
