description
Aerodynamic lorries will inevitably shape the future of the freight industry and road transport. What do you think of the curvy lorries? Do we need even bigger lorries on our roads? Will they change how we consume goods? We created this infographic for our client PIE Mapping. www.piemapping.com
Transcript of Aerodynamic Lorries- The shape of things to come

devised by the eu tomaximise load capacity
The shape ofthings to come:
curvy lorries
Everything in ourshops travels
hundreds of milesinside a lorry
Aaerodynamic lorries improvedriver visibility,

Reduced vehicle emissions arebetter for the environment and
corporate responsibility
Curvy lorries could cut £1,300per lorry per year off fuel bills
Truck designers arecreating more
rounded shapes andadding aerodynamic flaps
New aerodynamic lorries areexpected on European
roads from 2018
The new designof trucks reflects
research ofaerodynamics
from
engineers
Rounding corners and reducingthe gap between cab and trailer
cuts aerodynamic drag by 20-25%
