Abstract: A vehicle fairing structure has a top fairing surface adapted to be attached to a trailer box, and first and second side fairing surfaces adapted to be attached to the sides of the trailer box, in the gap between a tractor cab and a trailer box in a tractor-trailer combination. The fairing structure directs air flow away from the gap, and is positioned in the gap to lessen aerodynamic drag, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

Each of the top and first and second side surfaces has a proximal edge adapted to be positioned adjacent a vehicle, as well as a distal edge adapted to be positioned away from the vehicle with respect to the respective proximal edge. The proximal edges of the top and side surfaces attach to the leading top and side edges, respectively, of the front surface of the trailer box, so that an approximately uninterrupted surface is formed from the fairing structure to top and sides of the rear vehicular component. The area bounded by the distal edges of the surfaces is smaller than an area bounded by the proximal edges.

Abstract: An aerodynamic device for the crash bar of a tractor trailer and support structures is easily installed on the front and optionally on the rear of the crash bar forming a rounded fairing surface or “bull nose.” A device may optionally be attached to the crash bar support structures. Using a flexible material, such as EPDM extrusion, or forming a molded part in polyurethane elastomer, ensures that the fairing surface recovers its shape after being crushed so that the device may be used repeatedly with a retaining device at a docking bay during loading and unloading, for example.
