Silver Eagle Manufacturing has announced that its Aero Saber trailer skirt has been verified by the Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay program as an advanced trailer skirt.
Silver Eagle claims the skirt can improve fuel efficiency by 5.7 percent. The skirt now complies with the California Air Resources Board legislation that took effect Jan. 1, requiring 53-foot trailers operating in the state to have aerodynamic devices installed onto their trailers to obtain a 5 percent or greater verified fuel savings. All model year trailers are required to be compliant by the end of 2012.
"Silver Eagle Aero Saber skirts are a smart solution for truck owners who want to save on fuel costs," said Matt Goldfain, marketing director for Silver Eagle Manufacturing. "The Aero Saber offers 5.7 percent fuel savings, equating to at least $2,700 a year in fuel savings and a quick return on investment. Over the life of a trailer, the owner could see as much as $40,500 savings on fuel costs by using the Aero Saber."
Silver Eagle also claims the Aero Saber skirt offers the highest ground clearance of any aerodynamic skirt on the road, 18 inches.
