    摘要: A pneumatically actuated air control device is provided. The device includes a control surface that affects the air flow along the device, and an at least one pneumatic motor configured to alter or change the configuration or orientation of the control surface or sections thereof. The device is configured such that when selective air pressure is supplied to the at least one motor, the control surface or sections thereof changes its configuration or its orientation with respect to the air flow, thereby affecting the air flow with respect to the device.

    摘要: A lead vehicle includes a chassis and front and rear wheel assemblies supportively coupled to the chassis. A trailer coupling interface is mounted to the chassis and is configured to couple to a tow vehicle. The lead vehicle further includes one or more seals cooperatively including first and second side leg sections positioned on the chassis laterally outwardly of the trailer coupling interface and a cross section positioned forwardly of the trailer coupling interface. The one or more seals are configured to form a barrier between the chassis and a portion of the tow vehicle.

    摘要: To improve the aerodynamic efficiency of a vehicle trailer, one or more aerodynamic components are positioned on the trailer. In some examples described herein, the one or more aerodynamic components are in the form of side skirt fairing segments, which are positioned underneath the trailer and forward of the wheel assembles. In use, the one or more side skirt fairing segments improve air flow underneath the trailer and in the vicinity of the wheel assemblies, thereby reducing drag.
