| Résumé | The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has completed the second round of full-scale wind tunnel tests on Class-8 tractor-trailer combinations. The primary intent of the program is to effect a reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by reducing the fuel consumption of trucks through aerodynamic drag reduction. Add-on aerodynamic components developed at the NRC several decades ago have become important contenders for drag reduction. This program has encouraged the commercialization of these technologies and this round of tests evaluated the first commercial products. Three primary devices have been evaluated, with the combination able to reduce fuel consumption by approximately 6,667 liters (1,761 US gal) annually, based on 130,000 km (81,000 miles) traveled per tractor at a speed of 100 km/hr (62 mi/hr). |
