Belly Pans on Semi Trucks
It occured to me the other day that I've never heard of belly pans being used on a semi truck and I'm a little puzzled as to why not. That industry is probably the most efficiency-conscience segment on the road. I've seen various other "aero-aids" (side skirts, air dams, trailer tails etc.) but never a belly pan. To the best of my knowledge, even Shepherd777's AirFlow truck doesn't have one.
Anybody know why?
