With dramatic increases in fuel prices, reducing heavy truck operating costs is a critical business challenge for the transportation industry. One option to reduce the energy dependence of our trucking activities is to improve your trucks aerodynamics. Global Vehicle Systems is helping to overcome this challenge with the G-MAD ™ Truck Wind Deflector.

A significant factor affecting fuel use is aerodynamic resistance, commonly known as drag.  It is estimated that the trailer accounts for about 70% of a vehicle’s drag. Studies have shown that reduction in drag will reduce fuel use in both urban and highway speeds. Use of wind deflectors on trucks reduces aerodynamic drag and saves fuel by reducing the horsepower required to move goods down the road.

The G-MAD ™ system represents state-of-the-art aerodynamic styling combined with the efficiency and reliability of the plastic injection molding manufacturing process. The G-MAD ™ Heavy Truck Wind Deflector is a clear winner: by choosing it, operators can realize significant cost savings every year.
