  • Roof fairing for a long haul truck
    Patent number: 11220302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drag-reducing aerodynamic component, comprising a body attachable to a roof of a vehicle, wherein the body comprises an air flow duct with a duct inlet at a front end of the body, and a duct outlet and a rear end of the body, located at a distance different from zero from the front end. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a drag reducing component, wherein the body is attached to a roof of the vehicle and air flows through the air flow duct and is directed toward the rear end of the body, such that air stagnation is reduced around the vehicle and air flow is accelerated between the vehicle and a trailer attached to the vehicle to prevent air recirculation between the vehicle and the trailer, thereby reducing air pressure around and drag on the vehicle.

  • Drag reducing aerodynamic vehicle components and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 10214252
    Abstract: A process of making a drag-reducing aerodynamic vehicle system includes injection molding a body configured for attachment to a roof of a vehicle with a sliding core, wherein the body comprises an air inlet extending through a surface of the body, wherein the air inlet includes an air guide boss extending from an interior surface of the body, wherein the air guide boss adjusts an air stagnation point away from the windshield to reduce air pressure and drag on the vehicle; and ejecting the drag-reducing aerodynamic vehicle system from the injection mold using the sliding core.
