An aerodynamic panel 10, for use on a road haulage trailer, includes a first end 12, a second end 14, an,upper edge 22, a lower edge 26, and a recessed airflow region 16 located between ends 12, 14 and between edges 22, 26. Panel 10 has a front surface 32 intended to be upright in use, and recessed airflow region 16 includes a base wall 40 set back from front surface 32 and extending from it to terminate at second end 14. Recessed airflow region 16 also includes upper and lower walls 36, 38 defining a curved surface, which may be generally upward, extending the length of region 16 whose width, between base wall 40 and front surface 34, increases along the length of region 16 towards second end 14. Upper and lower walls 36, 38 of region 16 define opposing side walls of a channel-shaped cross-section at the open end. Upper edge 22 may be continuous while lower edge 24 may have an upward sloping portion.
