Abstract
The main objective of this work is to design best roof deflector for tipper truck according to Indian truck market. The all work is done by 3D design and simulation software. By improving the tipper aerodynamic or drag force we can get better fuel efficiency, better tipper stability, improved road holding and reduction in wind noise level.
