The geometry consists of a 1:6 scale model of a 74-ton timber truck with 1-3-2-3 axle configuration, Figure 2.
Seen in [15] the cab is responsible for most (57 %) of the drag for an unloaded timber truck, as it causes a large low pressure wake.
52.8 % of the total drag is generated from the cab itself for the baseline configuration, possibly indicating were most of the drag can be reduced for an unloaded timber truck.
In this paper the aerodynamics of an unloaded timber truck is investigated by use of CFD.
This paper show that a small and simple modification can lower the drag significantly for an unloaded timber truck or other similar shaped vehicles.

Today in Sweden, around 2000 timber trucks transport around six billion ton kilometers every year.
In 2015, about 2000 timber trucks in Sweden, hauled about six billion ton-km (metric ton kilometers) of timber [3].
One of the areas is to increase the maximum weight of the timber trucks from 60 tons to 74 tons, without increasing the length of the vehicles, Figure 1.
However, for timber trucks only a few studies exist for its aerodynamics [3,4, 12, 13,14].
This feature also occurs for timber trucks but is, however, a bit different when the truck is unloaded.
As this drag reduction shield does not require substantial modifications of bulkhead, bunks and stakes it should be possible to implement it on existing timber trucks. As the shield is placed on the outward face of the bulkhead, first bunk and stake pair it should have little or no contact with the timber when fully loaded.
