www.ttnews.com: New Technologies Target Trailer Efficiency

This article calls out
  • TruckWings, a device that reduces the gap between tractor and trailer during on-highway travel.
  • The well known TrailerTail rear-door aerodynamic device from Stemco [discontinued]
  • the Rocketail Wing showed 3.3% to 3.6% efficiency improvements.
  • Utility Trailer, whose USS-120A side skirt is standard on its refrigerated and dry van trailers, this year introduced its Utility Aerodynamic Tail.
Sometimes the old ways are the best
