Abstract

An economic study relating aerodynamic performance to fuel consumption has been completed. An experimental windtunnel evaluation of both new shapes and modified shapes for semi-tractors has been conducted and the results show that it is possible to both modify existing tractors and design new tractors which will result in substantial fuel savings.
