For transportation companies operating on razor-thin margins, every drop of diesel counts. Transtex has spent over 15 years engineering next-generation, cleantech solutions designed not just to save fuel, but to fundamentally optimize the efficiency and bottom line of heavy-duty fleets. They build systems that turn every truck and trailer into a lean, wind-cheating machine, tackling the massive challenge of aerodynamic drag head-on.

Cheating the Wind, Boosting the Bottom Line

The core of the Transtex offering lies in its complete aerodynamic coverage, epitomized by the EDGE ELITE AERO® SYSTEM. The single biggest barrier to efficiency on the highway is the turbulence created around the trailer’s underbody and rear. The EDGE SKIRTS®, a pioneer in the industry, manage airflow beneath the trailer, guiding it smoothly past the wheels and suspension. Complementing this, the EDGE TOPKIT+® and EDGE FLAPS® work at the back, reducing the wake turbulence that otherwise acts as a constant, invisible brake on the vehicle. By combining these solutions, fleets can achieve proven fuel savings of up to 10%, translating directly into thousands of dollars saved annually per truck.

Built for the Road, Engineered for Resilience

Transtex understands that savings mean nothing if the equipment can’t handle the punishing realities of the road. Their products are manufactured using durable, flexible glass-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Crucially, components like the revolutionary Blue Bracket are engineered to bend upon impact—such as scraping steep dock ramps or hitting road debris—and then snap back into their original position, ensuring the aerodynamic integrity remains intact for the long haul. This focus on reliability allows Transtex to back its products with extensive warranties, giving customers peace of mind that their investment in fuel efficiency is protected.

Comfort and Compliance in the Cabin

Beyond aerodynamics, Transtex also addresses driver comfort and engine idling with its DCLIMATE® line, including electric Auxiliary Power Units (eAPUs). These systems provide heating, cooling, and power for day cabs without the need to keep the main engine running. This not only reduces wear and tear on the primary engine but also completely eliminates the fuel wasted during mandatory rest periods. By adopting the full suite of Transtex solutions, companies are able to meet and exceed the rigorous standards required to qualify for the EPA’s SmartWay® Elite program, demonstrating a commitment to both economic prudence and environmental stewardship.
