Improved Fuel Efficiency
Canepa Design Side Skirts and side fairings have been specifically designed
for the Peterbilt 387 to enhance the style and look of the tractor while improving
aerodynamic efficiency.
Improving the tractor’s aerodynamics radically reduces the fuel required
for operation, as approximately two-thirds of each gallons burnt is used to
overcome aerodynamic drag.
Technologies that improve truck aerodynamics include:
• Side Fairing: reduces aerodynamic drag created by the gap between the tractor and trailer.
• Side Skirts: reduces aerodynamic drag created by the gap between the tanks and rear wheels, and reduces airflow under the tractor improving crosswind stability.
The combined effect of all aerodynamic improvements on one vehicle could result in as much as a 23% reduction in aerodynamic drag. For every 2% reduction in aerodynamic drag, there is a 1% improvement in fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Style
Great care has been taken to design each part in keeping with the lines and
style of the factory cab. The parts flow into the factory bodywork seamlessly
creating a clean “factory” look.
Superior Construction
Each part is made of high quality hand laid fiberglass for a perfect fit and
easy installation. Both the Side Skirts and Side Fairings can be ordered to
fit any wheelbase of the tractor.
