AeroKit

Wirth is dedicated to developing innovative and cost-effective solutions for our commercial vehicle customers, in order to improve overall efficiency. Our unique AeroKits – a set of aerodynamic components, developed using our motorsport derived CFD capability – do just that, delivering outstanding performance when compared with alternative air management kits currently on the market.

AEROKIT BENEFITS

MOTORSPORT TECHNOLOGY MEETS COMMERCIAL HAULAGE

Wirth’s first move away from pinnacle motorsport into Sustainability Products & Services was the application of our cutting-edge aerodymic technology to HGV drag reduction.

As a result of our work in this area, the Wirth Research AeroKit was recognised as the 2015 Winner of the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Award.
