Two 37-tonne lorries will be used to transport goods between a rail freight terminal and Tesco’s distribution centre in Wales. It’s a sign that the race to achieve … Continued
One of the biggest sources of pollution comes from the global transport sector. Aerodyne works to reduce these emissions by helping truck fleets become more aerodynamic. Our fuel-saving, aerodynamic devices have an immediate and guaranteed impact on emissions.

When you operate a fleet, there’s always an element of juggling to tick every box and achieve the best performance and return on investment. Vehicles need to be fit for purpose, easy to maintain and cost effective to run. Maintenance can be especially tricky, especially when vehicles have added complexity with additional machinery or technology … Continued

Like many industries, the impacts of COVID are being felt far and wide by truck manufacturers. There are delays of several months due to the world-wide shortage of semiconductor chips required for part of the chassis production. This in turn has led to other manufacturing delays, such as the fitting of air management kits. But … Continued
Why is it, that when a truck is being used in urban deliveries, therefore at lower speeds, there is an assumption that aerodynamics is of little to no concern? Unfortunately, it is an assumption our team hear all too often and it is incorrect. Yes, the forces at play on a truck moving 30 mph … Continued
Aerodynamics is the study of the motion of air, particularly when affected by a solid object, such as a trucks’ trailer. Or put more simply, it is the airs resistance to an object moving through it. Simple enough to understand, but what does it have to do with electric trucks and the transporting of goods? … Continued
