YOUR Return-On-Investment

The potential Return-On-Investment (ROI) or payback period can typically vary from 4 to 15 months, or more, depending on a number of factors, including the initial investment, the fuel saving and the annual mileage. With the average life of a fleet vehicle being 3-5 years, fuel-saving aerodynamics is a very worthwhile investment, helping you to save money whilst reducing your carbon footprint, and preserving the environment.

“Aerodyne are a fantastic company to deal with. I got them to fit aerodynamics to one of my vehicles, they offer a great fitting and quick service as well as a great range of aerodynamics.  After fitting I had the particular vehicle for another 3 years and the deflector served very well and always looked and performed well!  We monitored range, and per tank the fuel and consumption improvement was amazing.  An extra 38 miles per tank fill, added up over a year that’s a serious saving!
