What happened
FlowBelow presented an updated Trailer AeroSlider aerodynamic system at the American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition in Charlotte, North Carolina. The system combines trailer wheel covers, flow-through mud flaps, and rear fairings to reduce drag around a trailer’s exposed wheels, suspension, and underbody. FlowBelow states that the redesigned system can save an estimated 3 gallons of diesel per 1,000 miles, based on independent fuel economy tests.

Why it matters
The redesigned system aims to lower operational costs for trucking fleets by improving fuel efficiency. FlowBelow estimates that this could translate to annual savings of roughly $556 for a trailer traveling 30,000 miles, depending on current diesel prices.
