AAs surprising as it may seem, this is a typical road load power required relationship to vehicle speed. As rolling resistance and aerodynamic loading increase, so does the amount of power required to ...

Deformation control volumes are set for the front sensor, front-side sensor, roof sensor, and rear-side sensor, which significantly impact the aerodynamic drag coefficient. The sensor shapes can be ...

Aerodynamics are an important consideration in modern EVs. Lowering aerodynamic drag improves efficiency, allowing for more range from a given battery-pack size. But it bears emphasis: This is far ...

For much of the twentieth century, the automobile was shaped less by the wind than by the whims of stylists and the desires ...

SUVs are getting smoother, lower-drag shapes as EVs, hybrids, and emissions rules push efficiency. From underbody panels to sloped rooflines, aerodynamics is now a design requirement, and the “boxy” ...

Trailer aerodynamics devices can improve fuel efficiency by 1% to 10%. The gap between the trailer and tractor, the underbody, and the rear of the trailer are three areas ripe for drag reductions. A ...

Researchers focus on enhancing the aerodynamic performance of autonomous vehicles by reducing drag induced by externally mounted sensors such as cameras and light detection and ranging instruments.
