Glaval Entourage

Glaval Entourage

The Glaval Entourage stands out as the top shuttle bus, built on the robust Ford F-550 chassis. Capable of seating up to 33 passengers, including the driver, it surpasses the capacity of typical 15-passenger buses or vans. A favored setup for the Entourage is the 33/29RS configuration.

Featuring two fold-up seats at the rear, this layout allows the bus to transport either 33 passengers or 29 passengers with additional rear storage when those seats are folded. This versatile version of the Entourage is our most sought-after 33-passenger model at US Bus Connect due to its flexibility. It’s a preferred choice for tour and charter companies, university sports teams, and churches alike. The bus can also be equipped with ADA-compliant wheelchair stations to support passengers with mobility challenges.

The bus’s front design is among the most aerodynamic in its class for larger, full-size buses. Its full-view curbside window enhances visibility and safety. Glaval’s renowned “Steel-Safe” framing, utilizing 1-1/2” square galvanized steel tubing, forms the structural backbone of the Entourage.

A distinctive feature of this bus is the factory-applied undercoating, where units are sealed with expanding spray foam to minimize road noise. The roof also benefits from spray foam insulation, further reducing noise and ensuring a more pleasant ride for passengers.
