Fuel-Efficient Tractor-Trailer System
A fuel-efficient tractor-trailer system
for improving the fuel mileage of a tractor-trailer
combination by improving the air resistance that occurs in
the area between the rear of the tractor and the front of
the semi-trailer. The fuel-efficient tractor-trailer system
provides an improved roof extension, which automatically
raises when the tractor is put into reverse gear and an
improved wheel mechanism for assisting the side extensions
to slide around the semi-trailer ends when the
tractor-trailer is turning. The fuel-efficient
tractor-trailer system requires only modification to the
tractor and not the trailer.
