* UK EcoStream aero double deckers…..UK -Biglorryblog -21 Nov 2006: -- Let’s face it, considering the countless claims there have been in recent years over the efficiency of various fuel-saving devices, including various aerodynamic bits of kit, it’s hardly surprising your average UK haulier is a pretty cynical little bunny... Custom trailer maker Don-Bur is offering two of its latest 13.7m “EcoStream” step-frame, tri-axle, curtainsided double deck trailers with aerodynamic sloping roofs, for free trials... Apparently STD’s standard double deck curtainsiders normally average around 7.5mpg on trunk runs (validated using the Fueltec Data System). But the EcoStream achieved 9mpg; a difference of 1.5mpg. The ‘math’ works out to an impressive 16.7% fuel saving. And other double deck operators that have trialled the EcoStream have reported similar savings... Your average double decker with a vertical front bulkhead is about as aerodynamic as a brick. However, the “EcoStream” has a sloping roof that starts at a 4m height at the front bulkhead (or engineered to suit operators tractor/airkit combination) which then curves gently upwards by 880mm to full roof height of 4.88m at a point 4m further back. And that smooth curve maintains the aerodynamic laminar flow over and significantly reduces drag, as independent tests prove...
