Abstract

La présente invention concerne une structure de carénage de véhicule comportant une surface de carénage supérieure conçue pour être reliée à une caisse de remorque, ainsi que des premières et secondes surfaces de carénage latérales conçues pour être reliées aux côtés de la caisse de remorque, dans l'espace situé entre la cabine du tracteur et une caisse de remorque dans un ensemble tracteur-remorque. La structure de carénage permet de diriger le courant d'air hors dudit espace et elle est placée dans l'espace de manière à réduire la traînée aérodynamique, ce qui permet par conséquent de réduire la consommation de carburant.
