A new type of mud flap could be set to make HGV spray a thing of the past on Britain's motorways. This new product in independent testing has reduced the amount of spray generated from Lorries by 40%.
The mud flaps have vertical vanes on the surface which help to disperse the water, without forming spray clouds which can blur or completely obscure vision; albeit briefly. The reduction in spray is not the only benefit, there is also a reduction in drag which improves fuel economy by approximately 2% - a significant benefit on a 44 tonne HGV.
The increase in visiblity when following a Lorry fitted with the new mudflaps at 56mph is 40% making safer driving for both vehicles. iQuote Insurance encourage safer driving and will save you money on your HGV Insurance Quote.
