SmartTruck introduces improved trailer aerodynamics system
The company’s second-generation UT-6 Trailer UnderTray System is more durable and versatile, while still delivering a fuel efficiency gain of more than 10%. The system’s redesigned components are higher off the ground and allow the sled to be independent of the suspension system. It also reduces the size of the rear diffuser, allowing the suspension system to travel to the full rearward position.
