Tuneko | Less drag = Less fuel

Web sites have some new material and first information from the hubcabs which name will be FleXcap. I got the first 22.5" prototype ready for front wheels today and it worked ok. Now it needs just small series wood tool and more tweaking on the dimension and material thicness. Hopefully the front wheel version is on the market at the end of january.

Products can be bought at ebay (at next week) or send a message from the contact us page.

Also at the beginning of year 2011 there will be a ABA comparison test on a truck with FleXcaps and without them. Then we will now what the effect will be on fuel economy. We will use 10 current 22.5" version and 4 front wheel versions if they are ready then. Test will be done on motorway at 80 km/h with cruisecontrol on. Same route at least two times so ABAB. Hopefully we have the testers have time for even more repeats.

Happy New Year to all
