FlowBelow Redesigns Trailer AeroSlider to Cut Fuel Use

The lighter trailer aerodynamic system installs in less than 45 minutes, according to the company, with potential payback in under a year depending on fuel prices and trailer mileage.

FlowBelow has redesigned its Trailer AeroSlider aerodynamic system to help fleets save more fuel with a smaller, more durable package than its predecessor.

The company introduced the updated system at the American Trucking Associations’ Management Conference & Exhibition in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The AeroSlider combines trailer wheel covers, flow-through mud flaps and rear fairings. Together, those components can save an estimated 3 gallons of diesel per 1,000 miles, according to FlowBelow, based on results from separate independent fuel economy tests.
