Benefits
- Air is Directed Right Through the Mud Flap
-
Eco-flaps greatly reduce the drag coefficient created by traditional mud flaps, while still stopping and deflecting stones and road debris.
- At speeds above 60 MPH, where wind resistance determines 2/3 of overall fuel consumption, the reduced drag delivers 7–8% fuel savings for Class 8 equipment and 5% for straight trucks
- 80% of oncoming wind speed transmits through the Eco-flap
- Savings in cross wind conditions are even higher
- 10 Minute Assembly to Achieve Savings
-
These mud flaps are interchangeable with current equipment, as a running change.
- No special equipment or training is required to achieve these immediate fuel savings.
- No additives; no accessories or driver performance changes are required to benefit from major fuel savings. Just install Eco-flaps and forget about them. They deliver savings independently.
- Eco-flaps pay for themselves in less than 1 month through fuel savings, and are warranted for a full year.
- Superior Spray Control
-
Eco-flaps reduce typical road wash plumes of water that fly off the rear and sides of the trailer during rain or snow conditions.
- Give clear visibility to truck drivers of approaching traffic trying to pass them in rainy day conditions.
- Create safe passing conditions for other motorists.
- Prevent accidents that occur due to this normally poor visibility in wet weather.
- Current fleet customers rave about the improved visibility.
- 1 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty
-
Molded from DuPont Zytel, Eco-flaps can last 2–3 years without replacement.
- Rugged durability of Eco-flaps greatly reduces replacement expenses (labor and parts) associated with conventional mud flaps, especially trailer flaps.
- Eco-flaps typically deliver 2 free weeks of diesel per year in savings, or 8–10 times their initial cost to purchase and install.
- Truck engine life gets extended too, as less torque is required to maintain highway speed with the reduced wind drag.
- Eco-flaps Meet All State & Federal DOT Requirements for Splash Guards
-
24″ and 30″ long product is available from stock as standards.
- Fleet operators can immediately adopt Eco-flaps for highway use.
- Angle cut tractor flaps are supplied precut with mounting holes to match each application.
- Eco-flaps are easily shortened to meet custom tanker, flatbed or other trailer requirements.
