An aerodynamic drag system is provided. The aerodynamic drag system is configured to reduce air drag on a cargo truck. The aerodynamic drag system includes an air capture system, an air channel system, and an air distribution system. The air capture system is configured to capture air at a front location of a cargo truck. The air channel system is coupled with the air capture system and is configured to guide the captured air from the front location of a cargo truck to a rear location of the cargo truck. The air distribution system is coupled with the air channel system and configured to distribute the captured air at the rear of the cargo truck such that the differential pressure on the cargo truck when moving is reduced.
