Abstract

See full text

An arrangement and method are provided for optimizing a position of at least one air deflector guiding an airflow around the vehicle such as a truck or truck-trailer combination during driving. A position of the at least one air deflector is determined by an actuator which is controlled in response to a sensed control signal indicating the air resistance of the vehicle, the speed of the vehicle is controlled by a vehicle driving control system for providing a constant speed of the vehicle during the optimization, and the position of the at least one air deflector is varied until the control signal indicates a minimized air resistance of the vehicle.
