some lorries have deflectors fitted over their cabs, so it becomes more streamline, it can DEFLECT the air resistance too :)
The Ugly Rat
Many trailers use wind deflectors on the top of their cabs to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag while driving. By directing airflow smoothly over the trailer, these deflectors help minimize turbulence, which can lead to better fuel efficiency and increased stability on the road. Additionally, they can contribute to overall safety by preventing wind from lifting the trailer at high speeds. Overall, wind deflectors enhance the performance and efficiency of heavy vehicles.
To spread the weight of it over the wheels
There are currently over 13,000 medallion taxis (yellow cabs) in New York City. The exact number, according to Wikipedia, is 13,237.

Lorries, or trucks, have been around since the late 19th century. The first motorized truck is generally credited to Gottlieb Daimler, who built a gasoline-powered vehicle in 1896. However, horse-drawn lorries date back much earlier, with origins in the 18th century. Over the years, lorries have evolved significantly in design and technology, becoming essential for transportation and logistics.
They were fitted with horseshoes
Norbert Dentressangle, now part of XPO Logistics, operated a fleet of thousands of vehicles, including lorries, across Europe before the acquisition in 2015. At its peak, the company had over 10,000 trucks in its logistics and transport divisions. However, the exact number of lorries can fluctuate due to operational changes and fleet management strategies. For the most current figures, it would be best to refer to XPO Logistics' latest reports or announcements.
Increase the number of wheels and/or increase the tread width of the tires or tracks, so that their weight is distributed over a larger area.
Vent air deflectors are used to redirect airflow from heating or cooling vents to improve comfort and efficiency in a room. To use them, simply install the deflector over the vent, ensuring it is securely attached and positioned to direct air where needed—either upward, downward, or sideways. Adjust the angle as necessary to achieve the desired airflow pattern, and periodically check to ensure it's clean and unobstructed for optimal performance.
It is not safe or comfortable for a person to be fitted into a suitcase. It is important to prioritize safety and well-being over any attempt to fit into a confined space.
As of 2009, there were 13087 Taxis in the US.
It needs to be re-fitted by a qualified Gunsmith. There is no simple way to do this.
