The link below will take you to a 2001 study by a UK trucking industry trade group providing an overview of truck aerodynamics and the various products that improve truck aerodynamics. The study provides an unbiased overview of each device, a comparison of efficiency improvements and the return on investment period.
The study covers devices such as roof fairings, side fairings, air vortex generators, air dams and provides a good overview of air drag and the other factors contributing to increased fuel consumption.
If you are into this sort of thing, you will immediately see that this study took a LOT of time and expense to put together and that it has distilled the information into an easy to understand format.
