Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006060852A1] A deflector (10) for mounting at a rear of a vehicle (12), the deflector (10) being arranged, in operation, to project sidewards of the vehicle (12) as one or more ducts (22, 26, 28) to direct air from along a side (14) of the vehicle (12) through a region (30) behind the vehicle (12) and allow continuous airflow through the region (30) and behind the vehicle (12) to thereby reduce vacuum effect, the deflector (10) being adapted to move to a retracted condition, when not in use, to allow unobstructed opening of a rear door of the vehicle (12). Similarly a method of reducing drag of a moving vehicle by mounting of a deflector to the vehicle is disclosed.
