Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing these, Aaron. I can definitely use these pictures for my own truck. I've looked around a lot on the web for things like these.

cool stuff aaron, i think that last one is a prototype "green" friendly crap the gov't is trying to sell......although it looks like it will perform better than the aerodynamic skirts for van trailers. but, just like the van skirts, they're only good til the first swift driver rips 'em off

Those pictures look like they were taken at the Denton TX Peterbilt plant, they have a truck show there every year and they also let you wonder around outside and take pictures of what is out there...The last pic is of a truck Peterbilt brought to the Louisville KY MATS show in March 2012, they were looking at this type of design for future trucks for better fuel economy. A rep we were speaking to told us that that test truck was averaging 15.6 miles per gallon with that set up on it very impressive but not to practical for most trucking companies to use.
