Advanced aerodynamic solutions for shipping container transport
Container Aerodynamics is developing technology designed to improve airflow around standard shipping containers. By reducing aerodynamic drag, our product aims to lower fuel consumption and emissions during road transport.
Save up to 7% on fuel costs across your fleet
Delivering measurable fuel savings and reduced emissions across every journey
Why Aerodynamics Matters
Freight transport moves over half a million shipping containers by road every day, with 26 million container trips occuring each year globally. However, standard ISO containers create significant drag when transported by road.
Small improvements in aerodynamic efficiency can lead to significant and measurable reductions in fuel consumption, operating costs, and emissions across single vehicles and large fleets alike.
The Problem
Standard shipping containers are not designed with aerodynamics in mind. Their geometry creates turbulent airflow and drag during transport, increasing fuel consumption and emissions across road freight operations.
This means they are highly fuel inefficient: bleeding costs for the transportation of products on every journey made.
Our Solution
Container Aerodynamics has developed Aerodome™ , a non-permanent aerodynamic attachment designed specifically for standard shipping containers.
Aerodome reduces turbulent airflow around the wake region and container roof, improving aerodynamic efficiency without requiring permanent modifications.
The Scale of the Opportunity
Global supply chains depend on the movement of shipping containers. Each year, containerised trade carries goods worth more than $15 trillion, with an estimated 45–50 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) in circulation worldwide. Improving aerodynamic efficiency across even a small portion of this fleet could deliver significant reductions in fuel consumption, operating costs, and emissions.
