Mercedes-Benz project concluded that the average truck runs as far as 150,000 km / year would be able to save 2000 liters of diesel fuel and reduce CO2 emissions by 5 tons less into the atmosphere. Consequently, this device makes total vehicle aerodynamics becomes longer.
THE driver of a large transport vehicles such as truck trailers will definitely feel the wind resistance that affect the rate of the vehicle and it spent most of the engine power to 'big box' that can get through the wind resistance.
That's what makes Mercedes-Benz to find a solution to please the driver of the vehicle is at once to improve fuel efficiency by manipulating the design of large vehicles through the wind tunnel to get a better aerodynamic efficiency.
The result is a trailer that has airdam in the front, and rear taper is designed to reduce wind resistance up to 18% when mounted on a tractor trailer head of Mercedes-Benz Actros.
