Renault Optifuel lab II aerodynamic truck concept

Renault have released their second fuel efficiency truck concept.

They have dropped the fuel consumption from 32,7 liters to 25,4l/100km or 9.2 MPG us with 33 tonn total weigth. Thats 22% improvement. Thats also 0,76l/tonne fuel consumption. Max weigth would have been 40 tonn and that would have made l/tonn fuel consumption better.

PS: I would not call this aerodynamic either as there is still so much more room for improvement or even good fuel consumption figures as there are things also mechanically that could be done.
