Aerodynamic drag reduction of commercial truck at high speed is one of the important ways to reduce its energy consumption. CFD simulation and wind tunnel tests are performed on a kind of commercial truck, to study the influence of the cab shape and different kinds of guide cowls on aerodynamic drag, and the impact mechanism was also analyzed. It shows that the cab shape will make great contributions to the aerodynamic drag while the truck travelling, and through improving the shape of cab, guiding the air flow passed, it can effectively reduce the aerodynamic drag and achieve energy saving.
