Abstract:
1. An aerodynamic device arranged for mounting to a vehicle or a trailer for reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle/trailer comprising a cargo space, the aerodynamic device comprising at least one sheet material, each sheet material being arranged to be mounted to the vehicle/trailer such that each sheet material is associated with a corresponding wall portion of the vehicle/trailer, each wall portion having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface facing the cargo space, the wall portion furthermore extending towards the rear of the vehicle/trailer, where, in a deployed first state, each sheet material is arranged to at least partly extend beyond a rearmost position of the wall portion, wherein in a stored second state, each sheet material is arranged to be inserted such that it faces towards the inner surface, the at least one sheet material comprising a first sheet material and a second sheet material, each sheet material being arranged to be mounted to the vehicle/trailer such that the first sheet material is associated with a first wall portion of the vehicle/trailer, and the second sheet material is associated with a second wall portion of the vehicle/trailer, the wall portions being mutually parallel, the outer surfaces facing, away from each other and the inner surfaces facing towards each other, each sheet material comprising a first sub-sheet and a second sub-sheet, where the first sub-sheet sheet is closer to the corresponding wall portion than the second sub-sheet, and where the first sub-sheet and the second sub-sheet are connected to each other at a rearmost edge, where furthermore the first sub-sheet is arranged to travel a longer distance than the second sub-sheet when the sheet material is moved from the stored second state to the deployed first state.
