Artropolis launches new website for Deflecktor
03.17.09
Artropolis partnered with 'green' entrepreneur Jon Fleck to create a new website for Deflecktor.
The Deflecktor Aero Wheel Cover is made of fabric and installs in seconds on heavy-duty truck wheels. By streamlining existing contours of trucks and trailers, aerodynamic benefits become fuel savings.
Of all the aerodynamic technologies emerging on the trucking scene, the Deflecktor Aero Wheel Cover offers simple, immediate savings. It’s clever design, with multiple patents pending worldwide, complements the transportation industry’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Deflecktor booth (#13040), in the EPA SmartWay area of the show, features a Deflecktor Aero Wheel Cover that ran 13 months on a Schneider National truck saving the wheel cover’s weight in fuel over 200 times.
The Deflecktor Aero Wheel Cover was revealed today by an eminent worldwide panel of judges as one of five finalists in the Financial Times Climate Change Challenge. For two weeks, starting now, everyone has an opportunity to vote for the winner at www.ft.com/climatechallenge. According to the Financial Times, the FT Climate Change Challenge seeks out the most exciting innovations – practical ideas that will reduce emissions and make us more resilient to the change ahead.
"I cannot see a world without trucks. This simple idea could make a huge difference," entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson.
In the coming year watch for Deflecktor Aero Wheel Covers on trucks from the most sophisticated, energy-conscious fleets.
