2009 RUNNER-UP EPHICAS
This aerodynamic side skirt for truck trailers lowers wind resistance, reducing fuel consumption. It also cuts noise and enhances safety for other road users. Road tests done with industrial partners showed the SideWing was almost three times as efficient as other side skirts. The company says the plastic to be used is recyclable and environmentally friendly when burned.
