air deflector for high-street retailer TK Maxx to use on its double-deck trailers.
Dave Bassett, head of engineering at DHL Exel Supply Chain, says most cab-top deflectors are not tall enough to push air over the top of a tall trailer, and this was hurting the fuel economy of TK Maxx's trucks.

DHL will now try to sell the moulding to other customers that use double-deck trailers.
