Operation of the new Gillig Low Floor EV35 electric buses has begun. In total, 15 electric buses are planned to be delivered to the city by the end of 2025. Compared to the existing Gillig Low Floor EV 40, they have a different length (35 versus 40 feet), a different interior layout and a slightly smaller battery. The electric buses were purchased for $53.3 million, which were allocated under the TIRCP electric transport development program.

The first Low Floor Plus EV 40 electric bus produced by Gillig arrived in the city. It has a battery capacity of up to 686 kWh, and power reserve up to 150 miles.
