Smoothing the air flow around heavy duty commercial vehicles is becoming more and more important these days. So says Jon Morrison, President of the Americas Business Unit of WABCO.
WABCO is a leading global supplier of technologies and services that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles. With the increasing importance of aerodynamics, WABCO has entered the field of aerodynamic solutions for commercial vehicles. The company is developing a range of aerodynamic products – branded OptiFlow. Morrison explains the function of a trailer tail. The trailer tail technology is initially being introduced with WABCO’s trailer partners, and the company is developing a retrofittable solution.
I asked Morrison about the savings obtainable from aerodynamic solutions.
