What Is The Glaval Concorde II

The Glaval Concorde II combines dependability and comfort in a sleek, modern package. Built on the rugged Ford F-650 chassis with the option of gas or diesel engines, the Concorde II gives your organization the flexibility to choose the powertrain that best fits your budget and route demands.

As the first medium-duty F-650 product on the market offered in both a 96" and 102" wide body, the Concorde II eliminates cramped aisle space and gives passengers room to move. Standard 5/8" marine grade plywood flooring, stainless steel exterior screws, and LED interior and exterior lighting deliver the same Glaval quality and durability you expect from the Forest River Bus family.

With configurations carrying up to 45 passengers across 32' to 40' body lengths, the Concorde II is the ideal choice for large church fleets, corporate shuttle programs, hotel airport transfers, and senior living transportation services that need serious capacity without sacrificing comfort.
