this additional 6% fuel efficiency can be achieved in 30 minutes with a 2-person installation crew. when combined with other fuel efficiency technologies currently available, trucks can gain upwards of 25% more fuel efficiency, improving the miles per gallon of a tractor-trailer to over 10 mpg for the most efficient fleets in the country.

if the 2 million trailers currently operating in the us today were equipped with trailertails, america’s fuel consumption would be reduced by 5.6 billion gallons over the next decade, saving trucking companies over $20 billion in fuel costs. this aerodynamic add-on would help to keep consumer prices down and prevent 77,000 tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
