Abstract

The consumption of diesel fuel by intercity tractor/trailer combinations can be reduced significantly by improving the aerodynamics of the Tractor/trailer combination. Theoretical data developed in the University of Maryland Wind Tunnel with 1/8th scale models is reconciled with actual vehicle tests conducted under closely controlled conditions.
