SmartTruck, which makes aerodynamic products for the trucking industry, has introduced the second generation of its UT-6 Trailer UnderTray System.

SmartTruck has begun production of the more durable and versatile redesigned version, which delivers a fuel efficiency gain of more than 10 percent, according to test results. The company also says the UT-6 is adaptable to a wider range of trailers than its predecessor.

The new UT-6 UnderTray System includes components that are higher off the ground and allow the sled to be independent of the suspension system. The redesigned system also reduces the size of the rear diffuser, allowing the suspension system to travel to the full rearward position.

Components, along with a more universal hardware package, combine for easier installation on a wide range of trailer models, cutting installation time to less than two shop hours per system. Along with increased fuel efficiency, a secondary benefit of the UnderTray System is cooler operating temperatures around the brake, tire and wheel assemblies due to increased airflow under the trailer.

SmartTruck has also added a Canadian distributor, Northern Aerodynamic Solutions. North Aerodynamic Solutions joins a number of U.S. distributors assisting SmartTruck in bringing the UnderTray System to market in the industry.

Fleets currently using the SmartTruck UnderTray System include Con-way, Hirschbach Motor Lines and Turk Enterprises. Other fleets evaluating the SmartTruck system include Schneider, U.S. Xpress and Fremont Contract Carriers.
