Aerodynamic
consulting and development
for tomorrow's mobility.
With our service and know-how we will transform the aerodynamics of your vehicles and components so that they move more easily - for less CO2, more range, better TCO. For a modern and sustainable transport an ambitious, realistic, and professional aerodynamic mindset is needed. This is aeco.green. Understanding the complex aerodynamics of vehicles is our expertise. Offering practical and holistic solutions our job. Teaming up so that you can make the next leap our natural way of working.
"aeco.green combines aerodynamics and economy for a greener future."

Moving aerodynamically is smart and good for the environment. We are driven to make a difference.
A major cause of energy consumption of ground-based mobility (trains, trucks, cars, etc.) is aerodynamic drag. Take trucks on long haul as an example: Today, 40-50 % of a truck's driving energy (diesel fuel, battery capacity, hydrogen) is spent on overcoming the aerodynamic drag. That's lost energy and a burden for TCO. We see great potential in optimizing trucks and trailers - on three levels. In future, a truck can have an aerodynamic drag coefficient like todays cars - and still be fully operational.
Advanced aerodynamics accelerates into the future of electric sustainable transport.
And this is why: On a fossil-fueled vehicle less CO2 is emitted - helping us to phase out of fossil CO2 emissions sooner. On an electrically powered vehicle (no matter the energy source) the range is longer, and less precious energy and less charging infrastructure are needed - helping us to phase into zero-emission-vehicles sooner. It's like suddenly having access to better batteries, more green hydrogen, or more infrastructure. Improved aerodynamics speeds up the clock towards green mobility.
We not only understand and speak aerodynamic fluently. Our vocabulary also includes all its related topics.
Combined, we have over 30 years hands on experience in dealing with vehicle aerodynamics. For us, an aerodynamic improvement is not a proper solution until we're satisfied with the aerodynamic performance, all your practical requirements are met, and all other dependencies are considered. That's the essence of our design process - no matter the vehicle case.
