Nose Cone gives more benefits for less cost. Compared to full tractor systems, the Nose Cone saves nearly as much in a headwind and even more in a crosswind at a greatly reduced cost. A highly regarded benefit for drivers, aerodynamic trailers are better at reducing the severity of the affects upon the vehicle of sudden wind gusts and strong crosswinds.

A highly regarded benefit for drivers, aerodynamic trailers are better at reducing the severity of the affects upon the vehicle of sudden wind gusts and strong crosswinds. Wind tunnel studies show, the Nose Cone trailer system increases mileage 10% in a zero degree wind and 12% in a ten-degree crosswind. The same study found the tractor system increases miles per gallon 13% in a headwind.

Air Slipper Side Skirts enhance the aerodynamics of a trailer by forcing air flow to be redirected and preventing air from hitting the rear under-structure of the trailer. This stabilizes the trailer and reduces drag and swaying, which results in a smoother ride and real fuel savings. lock

Green Wing's leading edge profile was refined in the RRWT to provide maximum fuel savings. The leading edge of the profile catches the "dirty" air just behind the tractor's duals and redirects the turbulence into a laminar flow resulting in less drag on your trailer. Without sacrificing fuel savings, Green Wing's Ground Clearance Arc allows your trailer to travel over mid-trailer obstacles such as railroad tracks easier than conventional designs. lock

Transtex Composite

The design of the Transtex composite rear air deflector, the BoatTail, diminishes the turbulence that causes aerodynamic resistance by sending the air flow into a smaller"corridor" behind the semi trailer. During inclement weather, splashing rain or snow are likewise reduced (they are deflected into the air "corridor"), which increases the truck driver's visibility. lock
