Ford E450 Bus

If there is one platform that defines the American shuttle bus, it's the Ford E450. With a higher payload than the E350 and gasoline power (plus gaseous-fuel prep options for CNG and propane conversions), it carries the majority of the shuttle, paratransit, and activity bodies on the road today.

Ford E450 Bus

Most major bodies TESCO represents are built on the E450: Turtle Top Odyssey, Glaval Universal and Titan II, StarTrans Senator, and the Collins school and MFSAB models. Whatever the route, there's an E450 configuration that fits it.

No chassis has carried more TESCO buses: 1,500 E450s and counting, from 14-passenger shuttles to 28-passenger bodies with up to seven wheelchair positions, all on the 7.3L V8.
