TruckWings

Improve fuel economy by up to 4% through active aerodynamics

About TruckWings

FUEL SAVINGS

Reduces fuel consumption up to 4.0%

LIGHTWEIGHT

Less than 150 lbs.

NO DRIVER INTERACTION

Automatically deploys at highway speeds, and self-stows at turning speeds.

Day 1 Savings

Our innovative service model means you save money from day 1, similar to zero-down solar.

Independently Verified Fuel Savings

Computer Modeling

Initial validation of the reduction in drag and fuel savings was done using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and showed that the opportunity at the gap merited further consideration.

Wind tunnel

At the Automotive Research Center (ARC) facility, the only SmartWay certified wind tunnel, modeling suggested up to 4% fuel savings on sleeper cabs.

Track testing

On-track testing in Canada supervised by PIT Group demonstrated the device operating on a truck in a track setting

On-highway

Weighted fuel tank testing demonstrated real-world fuel savings on a customer truck on the interstate. North American Council for Freight Efficiency was 3rd party witness of testing.

TRUCKS NEED THE GAP TO TURN, BUT THEY NEED TO TURN LESS THAN 1% OF THE TIME: THE OTHER 99% OF THE TIME, THE GAP IS SIMPLY WASTING FUEL.

THE TRUCKWING AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE GAP WHEN IT'S NOT NEEDED, IMPROVING YOUR FLEET'S BOTTOM LINE.

YOUR TRUCK BECOMES MORE LIKE A BULLET TRAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, WITHOUT ANY DRIVER ACTIONS, CHANGES TO THE TRAILER, OR COMPROMISES ON TURNING CIRCLES.
