Industry Leading, Fuel Saving, Carbon Reducing, Aerodynamic Solutions

At Hatcher Components we specialise in the design and development of commercial vehicle spoiler kits that enhance the truck aerodynamics and reduce fuel consumption.

The aerodynamic drag coefficient of a moving vehicle has a considerable effect on fuel consumption, particularly when driving at motorway speeds. For a typical commercial vehicle at a speed of 60 mph, nearly half the power of the engine is used just to overcome aerodynamic wind resistance.

The shape of most goods vehicles is far from streamlined, since the design of the vehicles is governed more by other considerations, such as ease of load handling, maximising the load size within legal constraints and ease of maintenance.

Hatcher help to manage all these considerations in a way that will positively enhance the performance of your vehicles.

Research & Development led | Optimum performance

Hatcher have been working in partnership with Cranfield University on the next generation of fuel-saving aerodynamic devices.

Our wind tunnel research has led to significant improvements in the shape an operation across the entire range of products we can offer.  Our continued investment in aerodynamic research will continue to deliver real world fuel savings for our customers

“Fuel is the biggest cost for haulage companies and so the best approach to reducing emissions is to provide reliable fuel savings that increase profit. Using CFD, we can simulate the aerodynamic efficiency of any vehicle – usually to help make racing cars go faster – but in this instance we are interested in increasing fuel efficiency to reduce HGV emissions. Typically CFD requires costly computers and software, as well as skilled engineers with specialist knowledge. The ACT solution will be jargon-free and work in a web browser, so that transport operators of all technical abilities can try out different configurations of HGV quickly and easily in order to deploy the most efficient cabs and trailers. This will dramatically reduce journey costs and greenhouse gas emissions alike.”
