In order to reduce the aerodynamic drag of heavy-duty truck, four different shape and style of deflectors based on the original one are added. With the method of numerical simulation, the influence of deflector on the flow field of the cab and the vehicle was analyzed, and the mechanism of aerodynamic drag and the measures of drag reduction were discussed in the study. When driving at speed of 30m/s, the aerodynamic drag will be significantly reduced with the contributions of all the four deflectors. The optimal solution can reach a reduction about 14%.
