THE ENERGY GUARD COMPONENTS ARE OPTIMIZED TO WORK TOGETHER AS A SOLUTION:
Trailer Skirt
1. RESILIENT, FULLY FLEXIBLE TRAILER SKIRT
Patented advanced trailer skirt provides stiffness without sacrificing durability. This skirt can flex and bend around objects and bounce right back into place.
aerodynamic feature2
2. REVOLUTIONARY, PATENT-PENDING BRACKET AND SLIDER DESIGN
Reduces load on skirt panels to take full advantage of tough skirt materials.
aerodynamic feature3
3. DRAG-REDUCING TRAILER END FAIRINGS
Patent-pending design for top and side of trailer to accelerate and then turn airflow around the back of the trailer. No required cutouts for hinges and no overhang.
aerodynamic feature4
4. INNOVATIVE WAKE REDUCER
Patent-pending, rear-facing spoiler for swing and roll-up doors. Reduces the size and effect of the primary recirculation zone behind the trailer. Unlike a boat tail, the wake reducer is always deployed and no driver interaction is required.
aerodynamic feature5
5. AERODYNAMIC MUD FLAPS
Patent-pending, angled and progressive louvers. Reduces vehicle drag and road spray.

energy guard recognition
1) 7.4% fuel savings when driving 65 MPH. Expected fuel savings based on commissioned, third-party simulation (CFD) and SAE J1321 track testing when compared to trailer with no aerodynamic devices.
2) Estimated fuel savings at 65mph based on commissioned, third-party MVT Solutions Certified™ testing procedure on a modern Class 8 truck with a 53' trailer compared to a trailer with no aerodynamic devices.
