A vehicle having reduced drag A vehicle (such as a trailer) has at least one side channel in each side wall and at least two roof channels on either side of a central ridge. Surprisingly, it has been found that providing side channels which are asymmetric (in that the trough of the channel is closer to the top of the channel than the bottom) results in an improved drag coefficient (compared to symmetric channels), as does providing a pitched roof (compared to a flat roof). Furthermore, the combination of asymmetric side channels and a pitched roof gives even better results.
