Don-Bur took the HGV world by storm when they launched their teardrop trailer design in 2008. It is strange that it took the engineering world so long to come up with this concept. Now that this is established we need to look further and deeper to find other improvement areas which provide the economic argument that the teardrop trailer offers.
