Re-engineered mounting system fits all sleeper cab and day cab makes and models, and can now be used for intermodal chassis transportation applications.
ROUND ROCK, Texas, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FlowBelow Aero, Inc., the leader in tractor-trailer aerodynamics, today announced that its Tractor AeroKit with Flex Fairing now offers universal bracketry designed to fit all makes and models of sleeper cabs and day cabs. The enhanced, reengineered mounting system also accommodates intermodal chassis applications, expanding FlowBelow's addressable market to include carriers previously unable to use aerodynamic fairings due to landing gear equipment conflicts unique to intermodal trailers.
Since its launch in October 2024, the Tractor AeroKit with Flex Fairing has demonstrated exceptional durability in real-world conditions while maintaining proven fuel savings of $1.26 per mile, or 3.16 gallons saved for every 1,000 miles driven.
"The universal bracketry represents a significant engineering advancement that opens new opportunities for fleets across diverse applications," said Josh Butler, president and chief technology officer of FlowBelow. "We've eliminated the compatibility barriers that previously prevented certain carriers from accessing our fuel-saving technology."
Key Features of Universal Bracketry Design
Comprehensive Compatibility: The re-engineered mounting system accommodates all Class 8 truck manufacturers and configurations, eliminating the need for application-specific brackets that limited previous installations.
Intermodal Application Ready: The repositioned bracket design provides clearance for container chassis landing gear, addressing a longstanding challenge for intermodal carriers who previously couldn't use aerodynamic fairings.
Enhanced Durability: All-aluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lighter than steel alternatives. The 360-degree spring-loaded rear hanger shoulder joint allows multidirectional flexibility to withstand road hazards.
Proven Field Performance: Since launch, the AeroKit with Flex Fairing has demonstrated exceptional reliability across millions of miles of testing with minimal damage reports.
The universal bracketry works in conjunction with FlowBelow's TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) Flex Fairing material, which bends and returns to its original shape when impacted. This automotive-grade material, similar to that used in vehicle bumpers, provides significantly greater flexibility than traditional TPO compounds.
Fleet Testimonials
Justin Olsen, vice president at TCW, an intermodal fleet based in Savannah, Georga, noted the expanded compatibility: "To our surprise, the trial units are in the same shape today that they were in when we began testing them in November 2024. We're glad to have another option available for us to improve our fuel economy for our long-haul trucks."
Chris McQuillen, equipment manager with Hirschbach Motor Lines, reported positive results from extended testing: "We have history with FlowBelow products, and we know how our drivers have torn up the fairings in the past. This new product is performing very well across my 10-unit test — we have had no damage, and zero dollars is always the goal in a maintenance test."
The universal bracketry enhancement supports FlowBelow's five-year/500,000-mile limited warranty, reflecting the company's confidence in the product's longevity across all applications.
When combined with FlowBelow's AeroFender and Trailer Wheel Covers, fleets can achieve total savings of 5.88 gallons of fuel for every 1,000 miles driven. A fleet of 100 long-haul trucks traveling 12 million miles annually could save as much as $247,000 per year using FlowBelow's complete aerodynamic portfolio, based on current diesel prices of $3.50 per gallon.
The Tractor AeroKit with Flex Fairing is now available for purchase through FlowBelow directly or can be specified through any mod-center for installation on new truck builds.
