Aerodynamic Trailer by Mercedes Benz

For years, car companies have been using the aerodynamic technology in cars, however, no one has done anything for trailers yet. As of present, trailers are like oven toasters with wheels.
Mercedes-Benz knows the need for a trailer and thus it designed one with the following features:
  • A front airdam
  • Rear diffuser
  • Rear end special design
  • Lateral panels
  • It can travel at 150,000km per year
  • The fuel consumption will be reduced by 5%.


The model is: Mercedes-Benz Aero Trailer.
There’s one downside for this design though: With the rear end having a different design it will have to be half-meter past the length allowed by transportation laws. 
Well, let’s see what Mercedes can do to get around this!!
