Faculty Aerospace Engineering Date 2007 Abstract Lorries are great for transporting goods, but their inferior aerodynamics means they get fewer kilometers a liter of fuel. Bad news indeed for the environment, and for hauliers purses. But according to researchers at Delft University of Technology, cones and wings attached to the rear end along with technical tricks suspended under the vehicle could reduce fuel consumption by up to fifteen percent.
