SAVE FUEL USING SCIENCE

XStream, 220 Pine Street, Redwood City, CA 94063 www.xstreamtrucking.com

Trucking is the backbone of the U.S.

economy. Nearly 70% of freight

tonnage travels by truck, directly

employing 3 million truck drivers and

supporting 6 million additional jobs in

related industries.

At XStream, we respect that heritage,

and are working to do our part to make

the trucking industry more profitable

and sustainable.

Fuel is one of your biggest costs in

trucking, which means that

aerodynamics has a major impact on

your bottom line. At highway speed,

67% of your fuel is burned to overcome

air drag. Our team of scientists and

mechanical engineers are pushing the

boundaries of fluid dynamics to

improve the efficiency of any fleet.

Our first product, the GapGorilla, saves

you $1,000s of dollars a year for every

tractor in your fleet by reducing engine

wear and direct fuel costs.

So how does it work? On the highway

our patented device deploys out from

the cab directing the air over the

tractor-trailer junction – eliminating

the drag caused by this gap. The

device retracts when the truck slows to

come off the highway, retaining full

maneuverability.

Our device has been proven through

multiple third party tests including

wind tunnels and real world track tests.

Please reach out to hear more about

how our device can save your fleet

money.

TALK TO US TO FIND OUT HOW AERODYNAMICS CAN

HELP YOU RUN A MORE EFFICIENT, PROFITABLE FLEET

The GapGorilla closes the gap between the

cab and trailer – directing the air smoothly

over the junction. This streamlines the truck

and increases your fuel efficiency by

eliminating the additional drag (shown in the

simulation image to the left by the pink lines).

It’s well known that fuel economy is a big

deal. After all, 2/3 of your highway fuel bill is

caused by air drag. That’s why there have

been aerodynamic improvements made to

the cab, skirts and trailer.

Our device is an easy installation onto your

existing tractors and requires no modification

to your trailer fleet. It is safe and

automatically retracts at low speed to

maintain full maneuverability.

Talk to us to find out what the GapGorilla can

do for you and your bottom line.
