How does The Deflecktor save fuel?
By increasing aerodynamic efficiency. In SAE type II J 1321 tests conducted by an independent third party, each wheel cover was found to save approximately 1/4 of 1%. A tractor trailer combination with eight wheel covers (see homepage photo) achieved a 2.06% increase. Use our calculator to tally your fuel savings. Remember not all trucks travel at 62 MPH all the time - these increases in efficiency are indicative of this road speed.
What is required to install the covers?
A squirt of water. No hand tools. No assembly.
Is there any maintenance required?
Out of the factory we apply a dry lube similar to the lubricants sold in bicycle stores for chain lubrication.
How long can I expect The Deflecktor to last?
We have covers in the field in excess of 200,000 miles and still going strong. The wheel covers offer a ROI so quick that payback is often measured in months.
Can I customize the graphics?
The Deflecktor is a new, innovative advertising medium. The printable area of the wheel cover design adds significant value to this unique opportunity. Send us your graphic in a 300 dpi PDF and we will turn around your custom covers.
