ATDynamics invests in rear-drag trailer aerodynamics

ATDynamics said it continues to expand its TrailerTail product line, most recently adding the TrailerTail Trident, an adaptation of the standard TrailerTail specifically designed for lower-mileage drop and hook operations.

ATDynamics announced it is pursuing an aggressive growth and product development strategy to provide fuel-saving rear-drag aerodynamic fairings for four million high-mileage semi-trailers operating on U.S. and international highways.

The company said in order to achieve its aggressive growth objectives, it continues to expand its TrailerTail product line to provide trucking fleets with effective and profitable rear-drag technologies to fit all trailer configurations and fleet operations. The latest TrailerTail technology to be verified by the U.S. EPA as an “Advanced Trailer End Fairing,” the TrailerTail Trident, is an adaptation of the standard TrailerTail specifically designed for lower-mileage drop and hook operations and will provide stand-alone compliance with California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements for trailer aerodynamics, according to the company.

“ATDynamics has witnessed a fundamental shift in the U.S. trucking industry since our initial TrailerTail launch in 2008,” said Andrew Smith, ATDynamics CEO. “Competitive fleets understand the fuel savings and durability of TrailerTail equipment and their principle focus now is to implement the most cost effective program possible. ATDynamics is focused on making it as easy as possible for trucking fleet customers to deploy TrailerTails in their fleets – and never again operate a trailer without a tail.”
