A fairing assembly 10 for a commercial vehicle comprises a fairing 18 laterally covering a major portion of a wheel of the vehicle, a first mounting bracket 28 on fairing 18 and a second mounting bracket 30 mounted on the frame 12 of the vehicle. Fairing 18 can be held in a covering position covering the major portion of the wheel, for example using an isolator 36 on one bracket engageable into a receptacle 39 on the other, or by using a rubber latch (42, Figure 5) on one bracket and a hook (44, Figure 4) on the other. The wheel portion can be uncovered by pivoting fairing 18 to an intermediate position and translationally moving fairing 18 from the intermediate position to a stowed position resting on second bracket 30 via first bracket 18, preferably by sliding on a plastic slide rail 50; this may provide easy access for wheel maintenance while providing an aerodynamic cover for the wheel when in use.
