Owner operators helping auto transport firms provide customers with outstanding auto shipping services in the United States looking for another way to improve the fuel economy of their car transport should take a look at the savings provided with new AeroFlex trailer skirts. AeroFlex trailer skirts have been verified by the EPA SmartWay program and is therefore a technology that according to the EPA should help you reduce fuel usage, and fairings are required equipment on the trailers of all car hauling vehicles in California, anyway. Reports from some transport firms that have implemented AeroFlex trailer skirts on their transports indicates that these trailer skirts demonstrated up to a 7.5 percent improvement in fuel economy. The truth of this statement is the question, but if one believes the reviews of transport professionals that have used these trailer skirts the benefits should be significant in this area of the environment we live in.
AeroFlex trailer skirts have been independently tested according to AeroFlex and verified against the SAE/TMC J1321 Type II test procedure and are made of impact-resistant, flexible TPO (thermoplastic olefin) plastic. The manufacturer claims that the flexibility of the construction material used, combined with a 180-degree top hinge design, allows these low-clearance trailer skirts to flex and withstand both side and bottom impacts as you drive down the road. These fairings are heavy at 160 lbs, have been designed to be easy to install and can even be put-on at a 5-degree angle to create the wedge configuration that diverts the airflow better along the truck surface.
