The Kenworth Aero Advantage Fairing is now available for order with the T680 Advantage and the 76-in. high- and mid-roof sleepers. The new Kenworth Aero Advantage Fairing flares out to better direct airflow around the rear wheels and allows for better packaging, the company explained. The new design also provides for an optional under-sleeper fuel fill, which enables fuel tanks to be moved forward while reducing trailer gap and wheelbase to further enhance aerodynamics. With that added room, fleets that want to install their own APUs can do so behind the optimized aero fairing.

“Our new Kenworth Aero Advantage Fairing for the Kenworth T680 Advantage and 76-in. high- and mid-roof sleepers can provide up to a 1% fuel economy gain,” said Jason Skoog, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. The company also pointed out that individual fuel economy improvement will vary depending on use, road conditions and other factors.
