Introducing the Aerodome™ :
the world’s first non-permanent aerodynamic enhancement designed specifically for standard shipping containers.

Engineered for compatibility, scalability, and ease of use, the Aerodome integrates seamlessly with existing freight systems without requiring permanent modification.

Our Product In Use

Aerodome is designed to integrate with standard ISO shipping containers during road transport. The system attaches to the container structure without requiring permanent modification, allowing it to be installed or removed depending on operational requirements.

Once installed, the aerodynamic structure sits at the front of the container roof, guiding airflow smoothly over the container during highway travel. This helps reduce airflow separation and turbulence created by the container’s flat geometry.

Because the system is designed to move with the container itself, it can operate within existing logistics systems and intermodal transport networks without requiring changes to trailers or vehicle infrastructure.

This approach allows aerodynamic improvements to be applied directly to the container unit, enabling efficiency gains across containerised freight operations.

These images show Aerodome mounted on a standard shipping container during road transport, helping smoothly guide airflow over the container.

Stage Of Development

Aerodome is currently progressing through the prototype development phase. Initial concept work and aerodynamic modelling have informed the current design, with the next milestone being the completion of a 1:10 scale model in April 2026.

Following this stage, the project will move toward the construction of full-scale prototypes, planned for late 2026. This will allow the system to be evaluated under operational conditions and support further development toward future deployment.

Technology Principles

Aerodome is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag created by the sharp leading edges of standard shipping containers during road transport.

When a container moves at highway speeds, airflow separates at the front edges and creates turbulence across the container roof and behind the vehicle. This turbulence increases resistance, meaning trucks must use additional fuel to maintain speed.

Aerodome improves airflow by guiding air smoothly over the container, reducing flow separation and decreasing the size of the turbulent wake formed behind the vehicle. By improving airflow behaviour around the container, the system aims to lower aerodynamic resistance and improve overall transport efficiency.

Because aerodynamic drag becomes one of the dominant forces acting on vehicles at motorway speeds, even modest improvements in airflow can contribute to meaningful reductions in fuel consumption across large freight fleets.
