Wabash National Corp. announced that its DuraPlate Products Group has launched the DuraPlate AeroSkirt, a new aerodynamic accessory for semi-trailers. Testing has verified that a trailer equipped with the device can provide 5.6% of fuel savings and a 6% efficiency improvement, the company said.
The trailer side skirt design provides the ability to flex both inward and outward to reduce damage, is easy to install, can be attached to various model trailers, and has the proven durability of the DuraPlate composite panel, the maker said.
The device has been approved by EPA’s SmartWay program, Wabash National added.
