The next generation of electric vehicles is taking the art of reducing aerodynamic drag to a new, much lower level. Not since the low-slung, streamlined General Motors EV1 from the late 1990s and the ...
TrailerTail is a lightweight, thermoplastic composite fairing installed at the back of a tractor-trailer to streamline airflow behind the trailer, reducing aerodynamic drag and reducing fuel ...
TruckWings, the aerodynamic panels that help fleets improve fuel efficiency by reducing drag, recently surpassed a combined 1 billion miles on the road. This accomplishment comes just seven years ...
Deformation control volumes are set for the front sensor, front-side sensor, roof sensor, and rear-side sensor, which significantly impact the aerodynamic drag coefficient. The sensor shapes can be ...
