European truck often have a vane at the lower corners of the cab (which are mostly cab-over-engines)

In the picture below they're visible on both sides of the top grill, in this Volvo pic, they're most obvious on the right side of the cab.



The sunshade at the top of the windshield performs the same task. While not always visible, they're open at the aft end where they are attached.
