Why Tractor Truck Need Option Deflector Component ?

For tractor trucks, how to reduce fuel consumption while ensuring transportation efficiency has always been the focus of attention for truck drivers and transportation companies. In addition to the performance of the engine, the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle is also an important factor affecting fuel consumption. In this regard, the role of deflector components such as cabin top deflector covers and side deflectors is particularly important. The main function it is to effectively reduce the air resistance and fuel consumption of the tractor truck at high speeds.

 

1. When The Tractor Truck Need To Install Deflector ?

 

SHACMAN tractor trucks can be linked to various semi trailers for the transportation of different goods. When the height of the semi trailer (container trailer, fuel tanker trailer, dump trailer etc.) or the cargo is higher than the cab of the SHACMAN tractor trucks, it is necessary to install a deflector. The installation of a deflector changes the direction of wind flow so that the wind does not hit the cargo box. Otherwise, the SHACMAN tractor trucks will not only face a reduction in driving speed, but also high fuel consumption.

 

 

2. How To Properly Install The Deflector ?

 

When installing the HOWO tractor truck deflector, it is necessary to consider the degree of matching between the HOWO tractor truck and the semi trailer, specifically, the height of the deflector at the top of the cab should be adjusted to the same height as the semi trailer, so as to change the direction of the wind flow, so that the wind will not hit the cargo box, and to reduce the driving resistance brought about by the turbulence of the airflow between the HOWO tractor truck and the semi trailer.
