Two new commercial trucking solutions from Transtex can contribute to fuel savings of more than 10 percent and qualify users for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Elite program. The EDGE Cone gap reducer and EDGE Tail rear fairing are thermoplastic GFRP composite panel products manufactured with continuous fiber reinforcement skins with short fiber and polypropylene core.
The EDGE Cone reduces air turbulence by filling the gap between the tractor and trailer and boosts fuel efficiency by up to 3 percent. The EDGE Cone has fewer parts, installs more quickly, is puncture-resistant and delivers superior turbulence reduction when compared with competitors’ products.
