The potential for emission reductions through aerodynamic improvements is particularly apparent in long haul heavy vehicle transport. By developing active devices to be fitted to the heavy vehicle trailer of the future this work offers drag reduction potential from current levels of up to 40 per cent. If widely implemented these devices could play a major part in the transport sector meeting medium term emissions targets. If successful not only will the project develop unique components, it will support heavy vehicle research and development that is so important to maintaining a strong manufacturing presence in Australia, especially in regional centres, such as Ballarat where Maxitrans has major headquarters.

通过空气动力学改进来减少排放的潜力在长途重型车辆运输中尤其明显。通过开发安装在未来重型车辆拖车上的主动装置，这项工作可将目前水平的阻力降低高达 40%。如果广泛实施，这些设备可以在交通运输部门实现中期排放目标中发挥重要作用。如果成功，该项目不仅将开发独特的零部件，还将支持重型车辆的研发，这对于维持澳大利亚强大的制造实力非常重要，特别是在巴拉瑞特等区域中心，Maxitrans 的主要总部就在巴拉瑞特。
