    Abstract: Aerodynamic is considered the most significant factor affecting on vehicles fuel consumption and power requirements even at low speed. For this reason, there are much interest and some modifications that decrease drag coefficient and reduce the aerodynamic effectiveness. This study aims to develop an electrical car body (ECB) to decrease the drag c... Show More
