The UT-6 Trailer UnderTray aerodynamic system has been redesigned for easier installation, better ground clearance and improved suspension travel, according to the manufacturer SmarTruck. Now in production, the aerodynamic device can improve a tractor-trailer’s fuel efficiency by more than 10%, the company claims.

The second generation of SmarTruck’s device not only fits a wider range of trailer models, but also cuts installation time to less than two hours, the company said. The system also is now mounted independently of the trailer’s suspension components and features a smaller rear diffuser.

SmarTruck has also announced that Northern Aerodynamic Solutions has been added as its Canadian distributor.
