What equipment could be fitted to the vehicle to improve fuel economy?

Explanation: • Engine idle limiter: No.
• Disc brakes: No, this would only have an effect on the braking capability of the vehicle.
• Air deflectors: Yes, air deflectors, commonly found on the cab roof, deflect the air more smoothly over the body of the truck or trailer.
• Body skirts: Yes, skirts, generally found under (or as part of) the front bumper or along the sides of vehicles or trailers, deflect the wind more smoothly around the vehicle thus reducing drag.
