Hey Phil -
Nice to hear from you!
No, I don't think I slipped a decimal point. The
average Class 8 truck is 0.65 Cd. Unless I'm missing something here.
I had to redact some proprietary info in this image below, but you can see the Cd of the new truck is currently 0.25
Baseline was 0.28, which means we had designed an excellent aerodynamic envelope from the beginning. We are currently doing simulations to get it even lower. In the teens, is my dream Cd. But you can also see that we are already in the teens, except for the last meter and a half of the vehicle.
