Introduces New Aero Saber Trailer Skirt
T
he Aero Saber, a new trailer skirt that improves fuel efficiency by 5.7%, is now being offered by Silver Eagle Manufacturing Company. The skirt could save long-haul truckers at least $2,700 a year in fuel costs. Easily mountable to the underside of a trailer, the Aero Saber skirt meets the United States Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay program criteria for fuel savings and will be a single source solution for 53-foot trailers that need to comply with stringent California Air Resources Board (CARB) legislation that took effect January 1, 2010. “Silver Eagle Aero Saber skirts are a smart solution
for truckers who want to save on fuel costs,” said Matt Goldfain, Marketing Director for Silver Eagle Manufacturing. “Because the Aero Saber offers 5.7% fuel savings, trucks and fleets will see a quick return on investment. Over the life of a trailer, the owner could see as much as $40,500 savings in fuel costs.” The Silver Eagle Aero Saber skirt also offers the highest ground clearance of any aerodynamic skirt on the road - 18 inches and a limited lifetime warranty, to assure low maintenance costs over the life of the trailer. The Aero Saber is a truly “green” product that is constructed of 90% recycled aluminum and rubber. The entire sys-
tem is 100% recyclable at the end of its usable life. “Silver Eagle is thrilled to offer the trucking community a way to save money while doing something good for the environment,” Goldfain added. The SmartWay initiative aims to reduce as much as 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions per year, as well as a targeted fuel savings of up to 150 million barrels of oil annually by 2012. By meeting SmartWay criteria, Aero Saber skirts can become a single solution for CARB legislation that requires all 53-foot van trailers hauling into and out of California to install aerodynamic
