A skirt for an underside of a vehicle has a barrier extending downwards from an upper surface of the skirt, and a rim disposed at a lower end of the barrier. The barrier allows relative movement between the rim and the upper surface. An actuation mechanism controls a height of the rim above a ground surface, and includes an actuator configured to cause motion along a first axis in a first plane that is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the skirt, and a converting mechanism connected between the actuator and the rim. The converting mechanism converts the motion along the first axis into a motion of the rim along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first plane such that the second axis extends towards the ground surface. In this manner, the actuation mechanism can be used to raise and lower the rim relative to the ground surface.
