In October, Altoona’s AMTRAN bus system welcomed 3 new Gillig LF Hybrid buses to the fleet. These Gilligs are AMTRAN’s first hybrid buses, being powered by a smaller engine (Cummins ISB?) with the Allison Parallel Hybrid System. The new additions to the fleet will replace a few of the remaining 1993 Orion I buses. One bus, 902, was painted in a special scheme in honor of AMTRAN’s long relationship with Penn State Altoona.
