Improvements in aerodynamic efficiencies of heavy-duty, on-highway commercial vehicles can result in lower fuel consumption. However, aerodynamic treatments, whether as original design concept or in the form of add-on devices, will only be most effective when overall vehicle road speed is controlled. GELCO Truck Leasing's years of experience clearly demonstrate the validity of the following:
